Klub - Assistant Manager - Business Development

At Klub, we are focused on building a Revenue Based Financing (RBF) marketplace by providing growth capital to loved online consumer brands and D2C brands. We have successfully made 200+ investments in brands across sectors like fashion, beauty & personal care, FMCG, ed-tech, F&B, and subscription businesses since August 2020.

Our Founders are Anurakt Jain (13 yrs exp, VC at DFJ and Vertex, corporate intrapreneur at InMobi; IIT-D, Wharton, CFA) & Ishita Verma (11 yrs exp in i-banking/investing at Kotak, Unitus Capital, Snyder UAE; LSR, IIM-B).

We have raised a seed round of $20 million backed by 9Unicorns, Sequoia Surge, Alter Global, Japan's GMO VenturePartners, and multiple angel investors in August 2021. We previously raised $2 million in pre-seed funding from Sequoia Surge and multiple angels in 2019.

What is RBF?

RBF takes a revenue share as returns instead of equity dilution or fixed EMIs, making it ideal for a post-Covid financing ecosystem. This is flexible and revolutionary, and we are looking for enthusiastic and talented folks to help us democratize access to financing for all companies!
