    Jay Davis is a side sleeper. Back in 2019, he was tired of having to bunch up, fold, and stack pillows just to get the neck support he needed when sleeping. That’s why he invented the Pillow Cube - giving side sleepers the support they needed and helping them get a better night’s sleep.

    After Jay launched Pillow Cube as a Kickstarter campaign in 2019, it had been growing steadily each month.

    Then, during Black Friday 2020, things really took off; “we did more sales during Black Friday weekend than the entire previous history of Pillow Cube”, says Clark Bigler, Pillow Cube CFO.

    A new phase of growth

    This kicked off a new phase of growth for Pillow Cube. They had thousands of orders to fulfil and to continue growing their revenue they needed to invest heavily in both marketing and inventory.

    “If we increase our revenue, we increase the demands on our cash flow”, says Clark.

    It was clear that they would need external funding to be able to achieve the growth they wanted.

    Choosing a funding provider

    Choosing a funding provider was a two stage process for Pillow Cube.

    First, they needed to decide what type of funding they wanted to use.

    Clark and the Pillow Cube team knew that Revenue Based Financing would be the best option for them. Because Revenue Based Financing doesn’t require any personal guarantees, they could avoid the risk of losing their house or other personal assets - one of the major drawbacks of commercial lenders like banks.

    “Sure, commercial lending has a low cost of capital, but they also demand a lot of personal guarantees - most people don’t really appreciate that risk”, says Clark.

    Next, they had to decide which Revenue Based Financing company to work with. “We spoke to several funding providers”, says Clark.“In the end, choosing Wayflyer was a no-brainer, they had much better rates than everyone else and were flexible in how they structured the repayments for us”.
