Investor Profile: Outfund — Thesis, Cheque Size & How to Apply

If you are raising capital and researching how to get funding from Outfund, this profile is your starting point. Outfund is a growth SMEs with steady revenue (£10K–£500K funding per official site; £10K–£2M per third-party roundup) investor focused on e-commerce, SaaS, B2B, mobile apps, retail, hospitality, marketplaces, D2C brands, agencies, professional services. Below: its thesis in its own terms, what it looks for, the companies it has backed, and the practical route founders use to get a pitch in front of the team.

Outfund funding: the investment thesis

Outfund is a London-based revenue-based financing provider (founded 2017) giving growing SMEs equity-free capital — businesses connect their payment and accounting data, receive a bespoke funding offer within days, and repay as a flexible share of sales, keeping 100% of their equity.

For founders, the practical read is simple: Outfund is not a spray-and-pray shop. Its public positioning centres on e-commerce, SaaS, B2B, mobile apps, retail, hospitality, marketplaces, D2C brands, agencies, professional services at the growth SMEs with steady revenue (£10K–£500K funding per official site; £10K–£2M per third-party roundup) stage level, so a pitch lands only when your company sits squarely inside that mandate. Study the portfolio pattern below before you write the first email.

Cheque size and fund firepower

Outfund has not publicly disclosed its fund size. What is public is the mandate: e-commerce, SaaS, B2B, mobile apps, retail, hospitality, marketplaces, D2C brands, agencies, professional services at the growth SMEs with steady revenue (£10K–£500K funding per official site; £10K–£2M per third-party roundup) stage. Treat the stage focus, not a corpus number, as your guide to the right ask.

Sectors and stages

The firm invests across e-commerce, SaaS, B2B, mobile apps, retail, hospitality, marketplaces, D2C brands, agencies, professional services, and its sweet spot is the growth SMEs with steady revenue (£10K–£500K funding per official site; £10K–£2M per third-party roundup) stage. If your startup sits outside those sectors, this is not your investor — a focused mandate cuts both ways. If you are inside it, you are speaking to a team that sees dozens of comparable companies a year and will benchmark you against them.

Notable portfolio companies

Companies associated with Outfund in public sources include:

• Bhumi (founder Dushyant Baravkar)
• Lemonade Dolls (founder Lemon Fuller)

The names matter less than the pattern: look for the stage, sector and business model the firm repeats. If your company rhymes with three or more of these, you have a credible reason to be in the inbox.

Partners, programs and perks

Credits and perks: No dilution, no personal guarantees, no interest rates — repayment via simple revenue share or fixed instalments; bespoke offers within 48 hours; read-only bank integrations with end-to-end encryption; repeat/top-up funding available as revenue grows.

How to apply for funding

Whichever route you use, lead with the one-line fit: stage, sector, traction. Partners at focused firms triage on mandate fit first and everything else second.
