About Us

Supporting Sustainable Success

We started Bigfoot in 2017 to push back against what we viewed to be an overly pervasive and often reckless format for building and capitalizing software businesses, that of growth at all costs and the associated hyperfunding to pursue it.

We wanted founders to have a different capital option that enabled them to pursue growth but do so in a healthier format. We’ve always been about taking the long view to success and helping operators maintain optionality along their journey.

We’re in your boat, not on your cap table. And we align best with operators who are:

All weather operators
Equity retention conscious
Taking the long view to success
Outcomes and relationship oriented

Amanda Wiles

CEO - Enspire
"Our loan with Bigfoot helped us create jobs and move forward at a critical time of growth for Enspire. Thank you for your work to provide reliable financial options and thank you for your partnership along the way."

Brady Anderson

CEO - SalesRabbit
“Working with Bigfoot was a breeze. When there were bumps along the way, they were great to work with in order to ensure a mutually successful outcome. We have no regrets."

Clint Reid

CEO - Zonos
“Bigfoot helped me avoid the rat race of raising venture capital early while being able to seriously scale our company. That’s been amazing. Beyond that, the Bigfoot team took the time to understand our business and I can confidently say we’ve built a really strong connection with them over the past few years.”

Ken Carnesi

CEO - DNSFilter
“Bigfoot’s process has made everything go so much faster. We were able to negotiate and get answers quickly with a higher trust factor.”

Ben Hendershot

COO - Altvia
“Bigfoot fills the gap between traditional banks and venture capital, allowing us to maintain our equity ownership as we build more and more value.”

Ben Vaught

CEO - DemandStar
“One of the things I really appreciate about Bigfoot is their taking the time to understand our business and crafting an agreement that works uniquely well for us.”

Nate Aune

CEO - Appsembler
“My first impression was that Brian was extremely helpful, and personified that “give first” attitude. It left a really favorable impression on me. As a founder himself, he just knew this stuff inside and out and was willing to help.”

Will Norton

CEO - SimplyAgree
"Bigfoot helped us during an important inflection point in our company. We were growing and needed to scale our team, but we were short on cash and sensitive to dilution. Fast forward...we raised a round with a great equity partner and have secured bank venture debt, both great capital outcomes that would have been harder to achieve without Bigfoot in the mix."
