Alternative Funding Options (AFO)
Find the stack that fits your situation.
Tell us the industry, the stage, and the capital need. The picker ranks the curated stacks that match — each result shows the layers, the role each one plays, and why it ranked where it did.
Three optional signals
Pick whichever fields apply.
The ranker uses each signal additively. Industry contributes the most weight (+3 base, +1 purpose-built bonus when the stack is built around your vertical); stage contributes +2; use-of-proceeds contributes up to +2 based on how many of the stack’s layers fit the capital need.
Submit the form to see ranked stacks.
The ranker scores all six curated stacks against your inputs. Each result card shows the layers, the role each layer plays, and the editorial rationale for the ranking — so you can see WHY a stack was recommended, not just that it was.
The picker surfaces candidates. The CPA designs the structure.
A ranked recommendation is a starting point, not a finished capital plan. Real engagement modelling — coverage analysis, covenant headroom, projection sensitivity, stacking-rule coordination — happens with a CPA on the call.
