The Austin lender looks past the software pitch and into the pile of loans, contracts and policies underneath it. That focus has helped Tacora turn a quiet corner of venture finance into a roughly $1.4 billion platform.
PvX Partners is a Singapore-based fintech that provides non-dilutive user acquisition (UA) financing to mobile game studios and consumer app companies. Instead of equity or traditional debt, PvX funds a portion of a company's monthly marketing spend based on the historical performance of user cohorts, sharing downside risk if those cohorts underperform. Its financing is powered by Lambda, a proprietary machine-learning underwriting and intelligence platform, allowing profitable apps to scale user acquisition budgets without giving up ownership.
