About Manual Ventures
The venture capital landscape is changing. The number of deals is decreasing each year while the $ amount invested is increasing.
Traditional VC firms are concentrating all their effort and money into a handful of "wannabe unicorn" companies, leaving the rest of the market dry.
Manual provides companies with an alternative source of capital that is cheaper than equity and has zero impact on the control of your company. Revenue-based investing gives founders additional capital to grow their companies without losing control of them.
We provide up to 5X of your MRR in exchange of a % of it until you reach a repayment cap. When the cap is reached you owe us nothing. No board seats, no veto rights, and no personal guarantees are required.
