Daniel Dorfman, CEO & Co-founder of Roots

“4th Quarter's plug-and-play growth team has been instrumental in scaling Roots, the only real estate fund that creates wealth for investors and renters. Their High Tempo Testing process and insane knowledge of all the channels has led to thousands of qualified investors in just over a years time. Their full-funnel approach has allowed us to focus on other parts of the business while they handle customer acquisition and retention. Plus I feel good knowing that they get paid only when they perform."

Jonathan Bay, CEO & Co-founder of Bidify

"Before partnering with 4th Quarter, we had generated only a few leads and customers. We clearly had strong product market fit signals with our guaranteed RFP win offer, but didn’t know how to take it to the next level. 4th Quarter leveled us up quickly. What separates them from “agencies” is that they have skin in the game by paying for ads and not getting paid till we hit certain KPIs. They built out our entire funnel and started generating more MQLs than we can even handle after only a few months. They are an early stage founder’s growth dream team."

Terry Comer, CEO & Co-founder of NIL FanBox

“4th Quarter has come in clutch! We knew we had a great product that fans wanted, but we just needed help figuring out how to get NIL FanBox in front of more fans that were ready to buy. Within three months, 4th Quarter plugged in and profitably scaled our paid media which allowed us to nearly 2x revenue and nearly sell out of inventory this past season. The kickers: I didn’t have to hire a whole marketing team and they only got paid if we were successful.”

Glenn Clayton, Founder of Fieldcrest Ventures

"4th Quarter is Fieldcrest Ventures’ secret weapon. They audit growth assumptions before I invest, and serve as the plug and play growth operating partner once I invest, de risking my investments and improving returns. With 4th Quarter, our founders get a proven formula for rapid, sustainable growth without the risk of building out internal marketing teams, hiring agencies, and paying for ads. Our founders can focus on product development, vision, mission and fundraising, while 4th Quarter handles scaling their business.

Abtin Buergari, CEO & Founder of Blueprint

“I built Blueprint, the paid media AI assistant, for my agency, and when we spun it out as its own product, I tried & failed to hire an effective CMO for what seemed like forever. Thankfully, I found 4th Quarter. Their plug and play approach meant I didn’t have to waste weeks and $$ building out my entire marketing team, and the results speak for themselves: they’ve increased leads by 10x, some are starting to convert to pilots, and they're even helping me dial in the product feature set. It's a win all around."

Dr. Michael Gardner, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Stanford University, CEO & Co-founder of National Scoliosis Clinic

“We knew that Scoliosis Solution could help people with Scoliosis, a condition millions of adults suffer from in the USA, but we didn’t know how to market it. 4th Quarter helped us test different markets and pivot multiple times, find product market fit, and then build out a comprehensive marketing funnel centered around a high-converting webinar which was the cornerstone of our lead generation and conversion strategy, allowing us to scale.”

“Now more than ever, cash is king. Pipe meets this need by providing access to a new, non-dilutive financing option with the ability to attract and retain customers through flexible payment options. They say timing is everything, and Pipe’s time is now.”

Dan Wright

President & COO, DataRobot

"Pitch customers, not investors, and let Pipe convert subscriptions into instant, dilution-free financing.”

Naval Ravikant

Founder, AngelList

“Pipe is the most founder-friendly, non-dilutive, financing instrument I’ve seen to date. Pipe supercharges cash flows from multi-year sales contracts, without any ACV degradation. Further, their versatility with monthly/quarterly payment terms is a huge plus.”

Gerald Tan

Director of Strategy, Second Measure

"We often risked losing deals by requiring annual upfront payments when customers wanted to pay monthly. Pipe solves this and allows us to invest more heavily in our growth. It may easily save us a fundraise.’’

Keith Ryu

CEO, Fountain

"Up until now, SaaS businesses had only two choices: scale fast while accepting significant debt or dilution, or bootstrap, while accepting less available cash flow and usually slower growth. Pipe is now the third option: scale without dilution."

Des Traynor

Co-Founder, Intercom

"Managing cash flow is critical for any SaaS business, and being able to offer monthly payment terms to customers but get the annual upfront cash flow through Pipe is a competitive advantage for healthy growth of the company!"

John S. Kim

CEO, Sendbird

"Having overseen thousands of sales and contracting processes during my career, I instantly saw the value in Pipe’s elegant solution to the payment term vs. cash flow problem that so many companies face."

Jon Runyan

General Counsel, Okta

“Pipe enables SaaS companies to leverage their most valuable asset: the recurring revenue streams they’ve built. Through Pipe, companies can augment fundraising and optimize cash-flow without dilution.’’

Brad Armstrong

VP Business & Corporate Development, Slack

"Pipe is the tool every SaaS founder has been waiting for. It allows SaaS companies to grow without dilution by financing their SaaS receivables.”

David Sacks

Founder, Yammer

You may be wondering…

This sounds too good to be true…

We don’t have to pay for anything until we are successful? You all really handle the whole growth side of my business? Yes and yes

Is my startup a good fit?

We work across b2b and d2c in any vertical. It's more about the product/market fit signals and how your product and offer fit into our model. So if your startup has signals of product/market fit and you're struggling with growth, I would definitely contact us.

What does the process look like?

We schedule an exploratory meeting to get to know each other and if our chemistry is reminiscent of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce we send over a questionnaire and request access to data. If the information tracks, we build a model (a funnel forecast), we iterate on the model together, and then we come to terms, contract and start scaling!

How is this different from a marketing agency?

We’re making an investment in your company through our time and expertise, and in some cases, advertising and content dollars. So we don’t take on just any company, it's highly selective because we only partner with companies where we think there is a high chance of success, or we’d lose a lot of money!

What marketing channels do you specialize in?

We’re full-stack, we’ve grown companies across every channel imaginable, so channel selection is based on many factors, but most importantly where your prospects live. We have strong core competencies in Email, and Facebook and Google simply because they have the best algorithms, have billions of users (so your audience is likely there) and are a cost-effective way to test and learn quickly, which is significant for an early stage company.
