Indianapolis, Indiana – May 2025 — The Yorktown Essex Fund has officially launched, offering non-dilutive capital to support growth-stage SaaS and e-commerce companies. The fund provides up to $1 million in flexible term debt for businesses with $400,000 or more in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and subscription-based or inventory-driven models.
Created in partnership with Intrepid Finance, a strategic provider of capital solutions, the Yorktown Essex Fund is uniquely positioned to support companies that fall outside of traditional lending guidelines but have strong fundamentals and scalable business models.
“There’s a funding gap for companies with strong revenue but limited operating history or collateral,” said Steve Iskander, Founder of Intrepid. “The Yorktown Fund bridges that gap by offering fast, founder-friendly capital that preserves equity and creates room to grow. It also gives bankers and advisors a reliable option for clients who don’t yet qualify for traditional lending.”
A Banker-Friendly Approach
The fund is designed to complement, not compete with, traditional lending and venture capital options. By offering non-dilutive capital with no time in business requirements, no warrants, and no credit checks, Yorktown helps founders retain ownership and momentum while providing banks and funding partners with a reliable referral path for businesses they cannot currently serve.
“The founder-friendly capital can help scale businesses alongside traditional VC investments, making it a perfect vehicle for follow-on capital at the time of a raise, or to help bridge funding between rounds.”
The Yorktown Essex Fund is available nationwide and provides customized repayment terms that align with each company’s cash flow, making it a highly accessible option for businesses with predictable revenue streams.
