About UpGrade

UpGrade is a growth financing fund providing flexible, non-dilutive capital for user acquisition and revenue growth. We partner with companies in gaming, fintech, SaaS, and consumer sectors, offering up to $30M in cohort-based co-financing of sales and marketing.

Our model is founder-friendly: financing is flexible, capped, and repaid only when cohorts generate revenue. No fixed installments, no cash flow mismatch — just aligned growth.

As a product-led private credit fund, we are building technology-driven workflows and automation into every layer of the fund, from deal structuring to monitoring. With a team experienced in structured finance, venture, and scaling global businesses, we are creating a new category of growth capital for companies ready to scale efficiently and sustainably.
