Thoughts of the Month

It’s good to see Freshbooks on this month’s list. After over 10 years of avoiding VC, FreshBooks has doubled down with its second venture round in three years. They are now ‘all in’ and well on their way to building a market leader in their category.

As we continue to track SMB SaaS raises, we will provide updates every month. Every year, SurePath publishes a report on the State of SMB, be sure to subscribe to our mailing list.

At SurePath Capital Partners we help startups raise the capital needed to become market leaders. When the time is right, we help our clients achieve profitable, deliberate exit strategies. We only work with startups in the SaaS, e-commerce and marketplace segments. Across those segments we have a deep focus on companies serving the global SMB market. Say hello:info@surepathcapital.com
