Clearco is flipping the way venture capital is raised on its head.By StackCommerce

Starting a business is hard. Growing it is a lot harder. Sixty-two percent of small-business owners use personal funds to start a business or navigate financial challenges. That’s risky, but it’s also risky to take out a loan from the bank or ask family or friends for investments. You may have dreams of receiving venture capital for your potential billion-dollar idea, but only 0.05 percent of companies actually receive a venture capital investment.
So, how do you get business funding without alienating people in your life or taking on a risky loan from the bank? One innovative new option is Clearco, an investment community built by founders, for founders. Geared primarily toward e-commerce companies, Clearco understands the sweat equity that every entrepreneur has put into their business so it doesn’t take equity to help founders scale. Rather, Clearco recognizes that consumer shopping behaviors remain online and that the growth of eCommerce is still steady, so they recoup investment through a unique revenue-sharing model.
Clearco offers marketing capital to help you double down on your online ad strategy, inventory capital to help you avoid hefty upfront costs and free up cash flow, and more creative solutions to help your business find funding without sacrificing equity. That way, you can retain full control of your company while Clearco just gets a small cut of your success.
To date, Clearco has invested over $2 billion in more than 5,500 businesses in seven countries around the world. Plus, 8x more women are funded on Clearco than through traditional venture capital.
