Runway Growth Capital, a provider of growth loans to both venture and non-venture backed companies seeking an alternative to raising equity, today announced the close of a senior secured term loan commitment of $65 million to Snagajob.com, the marketplace for hourly jobs and shifts.

The Snagajob deal marks another investment for the expanding Runway venture debt portfolio, which seeks to capitalize on a growing market opportunity in which larger, more established businesses are seeking debt financing in order to avoid dilution and additional equity rounds.

The loan enables Snagajob to continue investing in its next-generation technology and drive growth on the tailwinds of an evolving hourly jobs market.
