Asset-backed financing for robotics

Financing secured by the robots your company owns or plans to build. You keep the hardware working — we advance capital against its value.

A robot — the kind of hardware Dash finances

01 — TL;DR

Capital against the robots themselves

Dash provides financing secured by the robotics hardware companies own or plan to purchase or build.

Robotics is capex-heavy — in training and in deploying at scale, especially under a RaaS model. Equity burns your runway; venture debt dilutes your ownership. Most banks can't underwrite early-stage robotics yet. Some lessors will, but they underwrite your cash flows — we underwrite the assets themselves, so limits can grow faster.

02 — What we offer

Two structures, whichever suits you

Financing secured by robots you already own and operate, or intend to purchase or build. You keep the hardware working; we advance capital against its value.

Secured loan against your hardware

Borrow against robots you own and keep in service, repaying over an agreed term. Ownership and day-to-day operation stay with you throughout.

Sale-and-leaseback

Sell qualifying robots to Dash and lease them back. You unlock their value as cash today and keep them running uninterrupted.

03 — How it works

From first call to funding

  1. 01

    Introduction

    Tell us about your robots, how they're deployed, and how much you're looking to finance. A short call is usually enough to know whether there's a fit.

  2. 02

    Valuation & underwriting

    We assess the assets — make, model, condition, secondary market — and your contracted cash flows.

  3. 03

    Term sheet

    You receive a clear, indicative term sheet: amount, structure, pricing, and tenor.

  4. 04

    Funding

    We set up a bankruptcy-remote Delaware SPV for each borrower and fund.

  5. 05

    Repayment

    You repay over the agreed term or lease schedule. As the facility amortizes, capacity frees up for your next round of growth.
