Pipe has raised $16 million in new funding as it pushes deeper into embedded lending for small businesses. (businesswire.com) The round was announced April 9 and was led by Fin Capital and MaC Venture Capital. MaC Venture Capital general managing partner Marlon Nichols also joined Pipe’s board as part of the deal. (businesswire.com) Pipe said it tripled revenue in 2025 and nearly doubled revenue year over year in the first quarter of 2026. The company said it will use the money to expand partnerships, scale its capital product, and keep moving toward profitability. (businesswire.com) Embedded lending means a software platform offers financing inside the tools a business already uses, instead of sending that business to a bank or separate lender. Pipe says its current customers include vertical software companies, payment firms, and marketplaces that want to offer capital to merchants inside their own products. (pipe.com) That is a different pitch from Pipe’s earlier business. When the company raised $250 million at a $2 billion valuation in May 2021, Reuters described Pipe as a startup that let companies sell recurring revenue streams for upfront cash. (reuters.com) Pipe says the new round is its first equity raise since it relaunched its embedded financing product in 2024. The company said Pipe Capital has originated more than 15,000 advances totaling more than $300 million over the last two years. (businesswire.com) The company has also been cutting costs while remaking the business. FinTech Futures reported in November 2025 that Pipe had reduced staff by about half in a restructuring that a spokesperson said was aimed at profitability, operating efficiency, and focus on core products. (fintechfutures.com) Pipe’s public materials now describe the company as a provider of embedded financial products inside everyday software. The new financing gives Pipe fresh capital to keep building around that model after a reset that included a product relaunch, board changes, and a leaner workforce. (pipe.com, businesswire.com),
