4 Gears. 4 Ways to Win

Let's Talk Partnership

Referral Partnerships

Introduce qualified SaaS and AI companies to ECL for non-dilutive growth financing. You send the lead, they get funded, and everyone wins. Smooth, simple, and fast — no paperwork potholes.

Strategic / Embedded Partnerships

Integrate ECL financing directly into your platform, which can include SaaS tools, CFO services, fintechs, banks, or accelerators. Founders get instant access to working capital as part of the experience, and your platform becomes a growth engine.

Portfolio & Client Support

Help your companies extend runway without dilution. ECL complements equity rounds, improves portfolio performance, and keeps your founders in the fast lane instead of stalled by cash flow issues.

Co-Marketing, Events & Cross-Referrals

Turbocharge visibility and dealflow with joint webinars, ecosystem dinners, thought leadership, and content. Plus, ECL refers relevant companies back to your services — VC, advisory, banking, CFO platforms — creating a flywheel of shared opportunity.

More Than Capital: Why Partnerships Go Deeper With ECL

Deepen Customer Relationships

Whether you’re a platform, service provider, or investor, ECL helps you solve one of the most universal founder problems: Access to capital. You show up with answers — without building lending infrastructure yourself.

Increase Stickiness With a Real Value Add

Partners who introduce capital early build deeper trust and longer retention. ECL becomes an extension of your offering, keeping founders closer as they grow.

High Conversion Through a Founder-First Process

Our consultative approach converts qualified referrals quickly and consistently. Fast underwriting, high-touch support, and clear communication every step of the way.

An Ecosystem Flywheel That Compounds

ECL partners tap into a growing network of AI and SaaS founders, investors, accelerators, and operators. Co-marketing, warm intros, shared events, reciprocal referrals — the more the ecosystem grows, the more value everyone unlocks.

Trust, Transparency, and Alignment

We treat your customers like our customers. Clear criteria. Predictable outcomes. No hidden fees. When you refer a founder, ECL acts as an extension of your brand and values.
