Conductor Capital is a debt fund for high growth technology companies. Our capital solutions are more flexible than bank debt, less dilutive than venture equity, and designed to help companies with well-defined unit economics to scale efficiently. We invest $2-$10M in software, tech-enabled services, healthcare IT and other recurring revenue companies, included those that are investor backed or have scaled through bootstrapping. Founded by experienced venture lenders and world-class entrepreneurs who have taken companies from idea to $B exits, we strive to be the most founder-centric provider of non-dilutive growth capital in the world.

Gain peace of mind and reduce workload with a financial sensei in your corner. Ceterus provides clear financial insights, tech-enabled bookkeeping, and tax preparation so you can build a stronger future as a franchise or small business owner. As a growing business ourselves, we understand the dilemma small business owners face. Increasing demands on running the day-to-day operations, hiring and maintaining staff, and building the brand, in general, leave little to no room to put the level of focus on financials that your business deserves. When you work with us, we bring you: Experienced accountants with niche-level expertise in your industry that understand the ins and outs of your business so you don’t have to explain them. In other words, we take bookkeeping completely off of your plate from the beginning. Multi-layer security that ensures your information is protected. We want you to feel safe in making us part of the business you’ve passionately built from the ground up. Access to our web and mobile apps so you have all of the information you need to make critical business decisions at your fingertips. Because we know managing a business isn’t all done in front of a computer. The best part? We price according to your bookkeeping requirements, rather than the size of your business, allowing us to remain simultaneously affordable and worth the price. Reach out whenever you’re ready to relinquish the guilt of not putting enough time into your financials and work with a team as passionate about your business as you are.
