Bigfoot Capital provides non-dilutive debt between $250K and $2M to early-stage B2B software companies from its Denver headquarters.
Bigfoot Capital
Bigfoot Capital launched in Denver, Colorado, providing an alternative to equity dilution for early-stage B2B software companies. The firm targets founders who have raised seed or Series A venture capital, have growing recurring revenue, and need growth capital to scale a go-to-market engine or reach the next funding milestone. Its debt instruments typically replace or complement a traditional venture round. The firm focuses exclusively on enterprise software and B2B SaaS, structuring term loans between $250,000 and $2 million. Underwriting prioritizes recent revenue growth rate, gross margin quality, and the presence of existing institutional venture backers. Portfolio exposure spans North America, with a concentration in SaaS, developer tools, and vertical software (per public record). The firm does not take board seats, warrants, or equity kickers as a condition of lending. As a small, focused credit shop, Bigfoot Capital operates leanly out of its Denver headquarters. Its team has historically included principals with backgrounds in venture debt, structured finance, and startup operations. The firm rarely discloses aggregate deployment figures, but its underwriting pace has typically tracked the cadence of the broader venture debt market for seed-to-Series A SaaS companies. Structurally, Bigfoot Capital differs from bank-led venture debt providers by writing smaller checks earlier in a company's lifecycle, before a company qualifies for a traditional bank credit facility. This positioning places it in between friends-and-family convertible notes and larger, later-stage venture debt lenders such as Western Technology Investment or Horizon Technology Finance.

Frequently asked questions
What does Bigfoot Capital invest in?
Bigfoot Capital provides non-dilutive term loans to early-stage B2B software and SaaS companies. The firm focuses on businesses with existing venture backing, recurring revenue, and demonstrated product-market fit. Typical loan sizes range from $250,000 to $2 million, used for growth capital, go-to-market expansion, or extending runway between equity rounds.
How does Bigfoot Capital differ from equity venture capital?
Unlike equity VCs, Bigfoot Capital does not take ownership stakes, board seats, or warrants in the companies it lends to. The firm provides straight debt financing, which allows founders to raise growth capital without diluting their ownership. This structure is designed for companies that want to defer their next equity round until they achieve higher valuations.
What loan structures does Bigfoot Capital offer?
The firm structures term loans with typical maturities of three to four years, often including an interest-only period at the start. Bigfoot Capital's loans are senior or subordinated, and they are generally structured around a company's existing venture capital relationships rather than requiring personal guarantees or hard-asset collateral.
Does Bigfoot Capital invest outside the United States?
Bigfoot Capital has historically focused on North American companies, though it may consider companies in other developed markets that have US-based venture backing and operate as B2B SaaS businesses. The firm's primary geographic concentration is in the United States, reflecting the larger venture-backed software ecosystem.
How does Bigfoot Capital source its deal flow?
The firm sources opportunities primarily through direct relationships with venture capital firms and startup ecosystems. Because Bigfoot Capital lends to companies that already have institutional venture backing, much of its deal flow comes from referrals by seed and Series A investors who want to offer their portfolio companies a non-dilutive financing option.
