A short read on how Lynx helped Augment source essential legal talent while reducing cost by 70%: The Problem: Due to financial constraints imposed by regulators, requiring Augment to park one year of expenses in escrow, Augment needed capital to help sustain the business until they were approved as broker-dealers and able to charge commissions on the trades they facilitated. Venture funds turned down the opportunity to invest in Augment, asking Augment to come back to them once they had been approved by regulators. A Sweaty Solution: Initially, Augment was looking to reduce burn. After reducing burn and realizing the potential Lynx unlocked, Augment looked at some of the initiatives they originally put on hold due to cash constraints. Lynx was able to offer additional elite talent at a price point for Augment to quickly and effectively reduce burn. Successful Partnerships: Augment was able to take their strong financial position and growth powered by the marketing efforts they were able to structure on a sweat note to raise additional capital from traditional investors.

Change is always a difficult component of human nature but, can often lead to exponential growth. At Lynx, we’ve studied the current venture landscape startup founders are forced to sit in—one that places bets rather than fosters an environment to breed success. We have identified various points of friction, gathered resources, and created tools to help founders grow and scale their businesses. So we ask, why continue to lean on a system and rely on resources that historically do not foster better rates of success? Rather than continuing to lean on traditional venture as a founder for a continued stream of capital, take a better approach to managing runway and leverage a new resource—sweat equity. The ecosystem we have created spans ideation to exit, with relative tools and resources for each stage of a company’s lifetime. All of these resources can be obtained with less cash, and results in preservation of runway. Change is here, change is good, we’re here to help.
