Case Study: Lawtrades achieves an $80M valuation and scalable, non-dilutive growth with Capchase

How Lawtrades unlocked “fearless financing” and rose to an $80M valuation with Capchase

Lawtrades, a marketplace that connects businesses with freelance lawyers, paralegals and compliance specialists, faced near-bankruptcy after a 2019 pivot from serving startups to larger enterprise clients left them with slow-paying customers and a severe cash-flow crunch just as they struggled to raise a Series A. To bridge payouts to their supply network and fund growth without excessive dilution, Lawtrades turned to Capchase and began using Capchase Grow in September 2020.

Capchase provided flexible, revenue-backed financing via a revolving credit line that Lawtrades could draw frequently—starting at roughly $100K and scaling into the millions as ARR grew—letting them cover supplier payments, reinvest in product and R&D, and avoid costly equity raises. With Capchase’s support Lawtrades more than tripled revenue in a year, preserved equity, and closed a $6M Series A at an $80M valuation.
