Braavo Capital, a leading financing partner for consumer subscription apps, announced today the successful closing of a $5 million Series B funding round. Led by existing insiders with participation from Series A lead investor Headline and accompanied by a new $30 million debt fund with Upper90. This funding round marks a significant milestone for Braavo’s continued expansion.
Launched in 2015, Braavo has emerged as the global leader in financing solutions for founders seeking to scale their app businesses without resorting to unnecessary equity raises. Since its founding, Braavo has facilitated over $1 billion in financing, and its profitability in its core financing operations underscores its commitment to empowering the subscription app economy.
Working as a distinct division within Braavo Capital, Growth Ventures focuses on strategic partnerships with app businesses to drive subscriber growth through web monetization (commonly known as web2app).
After working in stealth mode for over a year to assemble a skilled team and develop its proprietary growth platform, Growth Ventures is prepared to unveil its web2app offering to a wider audience.
