Teslar is a forward-thinking technology company out of Springdale, Arkansas with a focus on software solutions for financial institutions. With the average employee having almost 20 years of banking experience, Teslar is well-positioned to help banks and credit unions in today’s tough and challenging environment. Teslar Software was founded in 2008 in the wake of the financial crisis. Most would conclude that starting a company that specializes in software for financial institutions during the banking crisis that started in 2008 would not be a wise move, but for Teslar it was, and it was this turmoil that has helped Teslar develop into a company that not only understands how to make cutting-edge software but also how to make software for financial institutions to help them navigate the current perplexing environment. From its founding in 2008 to today, Teslar has seen fantastic growth in its service offerings, the diversity of clients, and the growth in its foot print in the financial services sector.

Our advantage comes with our early access to the best deal flow through our close and responsive relationships with other leading VCs and major investors. We dont wait for great brands to begin actively raising capital. We seek out incredible growing companies that could potentially utilize additional capital, but may not actively be raising at the moment. This gives us the ability to find and invest in the best opportunities. This new way of thinking and investing creates tremendous opportunity. Further, we utilize a variety of unique deal structures in order to maximize returns for our partners - straight equity, venture debt, royalty / revenue arrangements, guaranteeing debt in exchange for equity; we can do it all. We improve our odds by combining the experience of our team with world class management, and by also teaming up with prominent organizations and experienced partners.
