Josh Axler, CFA — CEO
I work with growth-stage technology companies looking for minimally dilutive capital to extend runway and accelerate growth. At Flow Capital, I originate venture debt investments typically ranging from $2–10M for companies with $2.5MM+ ARR or $5M+ in revenue with strong growth trajectories. We partner with founders across North America, the UK/EU, and Israel to provide flexible capital that replaces or complements equity rounds in order to minimizes dilution. Typical uses include: • Extending runway between equity raises • Financing growth initiatives (sales expansion, product, acquisitions) • Reducing dilution versus equity funding Best introductions come from: • Venture capital investors • Debt advisors • Fractional CFOs and finance leaders • Founders scaling past early-stage funding Prior to Flow Capital, I deployed $150M+ across loans and acquisitions in technology and growth businesses. Always happy to connect with founders and investors building great companies.
