This new round is Pipe’s first equity raise since it relaunched its embedded financing product in 2024. In the last two years, Pipe Capital has originated more than 15,000 advances to small businesses globally, totaling more than $300 million. Through its flagship product, Pipe provides small businesses access to custom capital options in just a few clicks, embedded inside the same tools they’re using to manage their business. Pipe’s business has grown significantly in recent years through partnerships with companies like Boulevard, GoCardless, Housecall Pro, Live Payments and Uber.

“Pipe has built the infrastructure that small business financing should have had from the start; AI-native, partner-embedded, and easily accessible for the tens of thousands of businesses that have been told for too long they’re not worthy of capital,” said Pipe CEO Claurelle Rakipovic. “Pipe has kept its ambition while operating with a clear focus on the customer and fiscal discipline. That combination puts us in a powerful position. This new capital gives us the fuel to move faster on what’s already working as we continue to create a better future for small businesses.”

Building on its momentum in 2025, in Q1 of 2026 Pipe nearly doubled revenue year-over-year. Pipe expects to deploy the capital to bolster strategic growth, as it continues to add new partners to the platform and progress towards profitability. The company has added new partners like AI-powered point of sale provider Epos Now to expand access to working capital for brick and mortar SMBs in the US, Canada and the UK. The company continues to grow its global footprint and cumulatively, 20 percent of Pipe’s capital originations are now from outside of the United States, a figure that the company expects to grow. The company also recently extended its capital warehouse facility with Victory Park Capital for two years for up to $225 million.

“Pipe has shown strong and consistent growth in the last two years since launching Pipe Capital, with a best-in-class product serving a small business community underserved by traditional capital sources,” said Logan Allin, Founder and Managing Partner at Fin Capital and a member of Pipe’s board of directors. “Pipe’s continued origination and revenue growth, coupled with its operating discipline as a company give us strong belief that it will continue to stand out in a competitive market.”
