About James Sagan

James Sagan is an investor who specializes in early-stage venture debt for technology-enabled businesses, particularly in SaaS, fintech, and e-commerce, with typical facility sizes of $5 million for Seed to Series A companies. As co-founder of Arc Labs, he built a technology-driven credit fund that offers non-dilutive financing to startups deemed "unbankable" by traditional lenders, raising $32 million to support over 15 debt facilities. His distinctive thesis centers on asset-based lending against receivables and other assets to complement venture capital, later expanding this approach at Architect Capital with checks of $10–$15 million into companies like PayJoy, Forum Brands, and ADDI.
