Silvr Use Case

Growth Financing

Launched in 2018, femtasy offers over 600 erotic audiobooks and podcasts in German, English, and French. They're all about flipping the script in an industry traditionally focused on men, offering something fresh and digital that stimulates emotions. Founders Julie and Michael's vision for a female-centric platform has driven its success, with hardly any competition and a purely digital product that resonates emotionally.

The Challenges

Competition

Navigating the intense competition during Black Friday and the holiday season, where femtasy's digital offerings face stiff competition from the high demand for physical gifts.

Marketing

The importance of adapting marketing strategies to effectively compete during peak shopping periods whilst ensuring femtasy remains a strong contender.

Creditworthiness and Financing Rounds

Demonstrating positive creditworthiness for traditional bank loans. Avoiding stressful, time-consuming financing rounds leads to searching for an interim solution that maintains equity.

Financial Flexibility

The necessity for secure and flexible cash flow to support these strategic transformations to help enable femtasy to manage and take advantage of opportunities during critical sales times. With 40 people on board, femtasy was reluctant to take risks.

“Black Friday and the holiday season are challenging times for us. Our product usually has little chance against physical gifts that are popular. Being able to adjust our marketing budget accordingly requires a certain level of cash flow security. Silver provides us with exactly this security.”

Michael Holzner, Co-Founder
