On this episode of Investor Connect, Hall welcomes Denise Dunlap, Founder and Managing Partner at Sage Growth Capital.

Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Boise, Idaho, Sage Growth Capital makes revenue-based investments in companies that need growth capital. It is their mission to provide a more flexible funding option to growing companies that do not fit traditional equity or lending models.

Denise has a record of successfully building and operating companies as well as coaching startups and entrepreneurs. Two of her former roles include CEO of an IT services company and Director of Boise State University’s business incubator. She has been an active angel investor and leader in the angel investment community since 2008 and travels the country teaching angel investing courses as an Instructor for the Angel Capital Association’s Education program. (Post-COVID update: she now teaches courses via Zoom….)

Denise co-founded Loon Creek Capital Group in 2010 and has grown the company to provide consulting and administrative services to hundreds of angel investors across the country.

Denise discusses her investment thesis and some of her investments that fit that thesis. She also advises startups and investors and shares some of the challenges they face.
