What We Do

A complete ecosystem
for grassroot founders.

Capital, partnerships, technical assistance, and a network built to last — available to every founder we back, for 50 months and beyond.

01
Deal Sourcing & Screening

We run a rigorous open application process. Every submission is reviewed against a weighted scorecard covering team, market, traction, product, and financials. Only the top performers advance.

02
Investment & Execution

Selected founders receive capital structured as equity plus Revenue-Based Financing. We handle term sheets, legal documentation, and onboarding — so founders can stay focused on building.

03
Portfolio Management

Post-investment, founders join the ADAVEL network. Monthly KPI submissions, mentorship sessions, warm introductions across the network, and a live portfolio dashboard keeps everyone accountable and progressing.

Revenue-Based Financing Explained
Unlike traditional loans, RBF repayments flex with your revenue. In a slow month, you pay less. In a strong month, you pay more. The total repayment is always exactly 2× the invested amount — no interest, no compounding.
