Glossier chose debt over equity, which means lower dilution, higher accountability to cash-flow metrics. This applies to you if you're growing 20%+ year-over-year. Don't wait for a Series C — consider a small debt line once you hit $2-5M in annual revenue with positive unit economics. Use it to fund inventory for a specific seasonal push (holiday, back-to-school), not general operations. Debt forces you to measure payback period per campaign instead of just growth at all costs. Run a test: take a $250K line of credit, spend it entirely on inventory for your highest-AOV product, sell it in 90 days, pay it back in 60 days. If you can turn it in 5-6 months, you've found capital efficiency.
