gilion funding
We fund startups with both long-term and short-term funding. We strive to craft the most attractive non-dilutive terms that founders can rely on both within and outside of equity raises.
Big ticket sizes – €0,5-5m
Borrow up to 100% of your ARR growth, where others commonly stretch to 40%.
Uniquely longterm
For the first 2 years you pay interest only - and then slowly repay the loan over the following 4 years.
Truly non-dilutive
No warrants, no equity kickers, no board seats. You use the money how you like without our involvement.
Lowest total cost of capital
When you factor in exit fees, interest, and warrant dilution, our loans are usually the lowest cost of capital on the market.

“Gilion sticks out in two ways: their entrepreneurial thinking and their depth in details. They looked at our business as an entrepreneur - to see if this is something that can really work. That really resonated with me.”

Instead of asking our existing owners for a refill, this was the simple alternative. When the market is uncertain and you need to reach an agreement on valuation, it rarely plays out to the founders benefit. This allowed us to escape the whole dilution dilemma, at very fair terms.

What founders say about us
Over 3 years we've partnered with 50+ founders across Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. In their own words, this is why they've gone with us:
Raised €1.3m with Gilion
Tom Kedor
CEO and Co-Founder, Autovio
“Gilion sticks out in two ways: their entrepreneurial thinking and their depth in details. Many just look for reasons to say no, but Gilion looked at our business as an entrepreneur - to see if this is something that can really work. That really resonated with me.”
"We were self-funded and with angels up to the first €4 million. After that it’s been 50/50 with Gilion. And I’ve hardly spent any time on funding since."
Raised €6.4m with Gilion
Henrik Jacobsson
Founder & CEO, HaileyHR
“Others ask for a lot, in order to give you a loan. But Gilion makes a deep assessment and asks for less, which is a much better model. Secondly they are very aligned with our strategy - “scale it when you nail it”. My leadership style is all about building sustainably and finally times are catching up.”
Raised €0.7m with Gilion
Malene Madsen
Founder & CEO, Woba
"We as a company are past the first startup phase and can plan and control when we want to raise equity after reaching certain milestones. Then it’s very good to have such a longterm loan, cause you can plan not just 12 months, but several years ahead.”
Raised €0.9m with Gilion
Philip van den Heuvel
CFO & Co-Founder, Breeze
“What made Gilion the most interesting was, first of all, the long period for paying back the loan. That is heavily favourable if you're a growing company… it’s much easier to pay back the cost of the loan. Secondly, and I can imagine it's the same for most founders; it’s not just the value of capital, but that it's a long-term partnership.”
Raised €2.8m with Gilion

“Gilion sticks out in two ways: their entrepreneurial thinking and their depth in details. Many just look for reasons to say no, but Gilion looked at our business as an entrepreneur - to see if this is something that can really work. That really resonated with me.”
"We were self-funded and with angels up to the first €4 million. After that it’s been 50/50 with Gilion. And I’ve hardly spent any time on funding since."
Raised €6.4m with Gilion

Founder & CEO, HaileyHR
“Others ask for a lot, in order to give you a loan. But Gilion makes a deep assessment and asks for less, which is a much better model. Secondly they are very aligned with our strategy - “scale it when you nail it”. My leadership style is all about building sustainably and finally times are catching up.”
Raised €0.7m with Gilion
Malene Madsen
Founder & CEO, Woba
"We as a company are past the first startup phase and can plan and control when we want to raise equity after reaching certain milestones. Then it’s very good to have such a longterm loan, cause you can plan not just 12 months, but several years ahead.”
Raised €0.9m with Gilion
Philip van den Heuvel
CFO & Co-Founder, Breeze
“What made Gilion the most interesting was, first of all, the long period for paying back the loan. That is heavily favourable if you're a growing company… it’s much easier to pay back the cost of the loan. Secondly, and I can imagine it's the same for most founders; it’s not just the value of capital, but that it's a long-term partnership.”
Raised €2.8m with Gilion
Nils Erik Mattison
CFO & Co-Founder, Breeze
“Instead of asking our existing owners for a refill, this was the simple alternative. When the market is uncertain and you need to reach an agreement on valuation, it rarely plays out to the founders benefit. This allowed us to escape the whole dilution dilemma, at very fair terms.”
