Before working with Advanced

Rainstick faced long development timelines and high capital requirements. Traditional fundraising and slow-moving finance options couldn’t keep pace with the business.

Why Rainstick looked for help

Rainstick was looking for:

  • Ongoing flexible access to cashflow
  • Speed and efficiency in securing funds
  • A finance partner with a tailored, innovative approach

Flexible R&D finance from an Aussie business, here to help yours advance. Let’s go.

Rainstick’s decision-making criteria

Advanced stood out for:

  • Flexible finance that suited Rainstick’s needs
  • Fast setup and simple drawdowns
  • A personalised approach and Australian finance base

After working with Advanced

Advanced’s R&D finance gives Rainstick reliable access to capital without unnecessary equity dilution or delays. The team can move faster on R&D, hire as needed and stay focused on scaling innovation.

In their words

“As we need to go harder and faster, and have more staff and pressures, R&D financing becomes more crucial. We enjoy working with Advanced. They’re straight to the point; very clear on what they can/can’t do; super efficient, super quick and really easy.”
- Darryl Lyons, Founder and Chief Rainmaker of Rainstick
