Equity-Free Media Funding

Scale your brand. Keep every bit of it.

Your media spend shouldn't be limited by your balance sheet. Get a dedicated, non-dilutive credit line for advertising, paired with the strategy to make every dollar compound.

Apply for Media Funding

Know Before You Apply

Two simple rules.

Funding is for media advertising only.

Every dollar is allocated to buying media: the ads that put your brand in front of customers. It can't be used for payroll, inventory, software or general operating costs.

You must already be advertising.

You need to have run media advertising in some form in the last twelve months, on Facebook, Google, TV, print or any other channel. This is about scaling what's working, not starting from zero.

Meet both? Complete the short application below and a Shadow strategist will review it within 1 business day.

Most funders want a piece of your company.

Shadow is built differently. Non-dilutive media funding means you maintain complete ownership while you expand.
