## Resource

Jonathan Drillings, Partner at Riverside Acceleration Capital, discusses how B2B software companies can bridge the gap between early traction and scalable growth. Jonathan explains RAC’s sister fund model—how growth lending and growth equity are deployed at different moments, what each is designed to achieve and how the two work together as companies mature. Learn how investors assess durability before scale, and how AI is reshaping both risk and opportunity for growth-stage software companies, without changing the importance of fundamentals like retention and focus.The information contained in this podcast is not intended to constitute, and should not be construed as, investment advice.
