@atlasberry008: David Beckham just raised $1B for his health drink from General Catalyst — and gave up zero equity. No shares, no board seat, no dilution. It's GC's Customer Value Fund: more loan than investment. They finance up to 70% of customer acquisition cost and take a capped slice of the revenue — once they're paid back plus a return, the rest reverts to the company. Why it matters: the 10-year VC exit bet is getting brutal when AI reinvents itself every 18 months. Lending against real revenue beats praying for an exit that may never come. GC ran the same play with Grammarly. The celebrity's the headline. The structure's the story. If you like this kind of thing and want to stay close — join our community Frontier.
