Alongside debt or equity raising, RBF is an ideal complement to your SaaS financing. Pierre Youénou reminds us of the importance of diversifying our sources, and points out that 40% of Silvr's 150+ current clients use Silvr financing in addition to the other two models. With this 'infinite runway', you will also retain your ability to raise bank debt or equity.
