How We're Different
Venture Backing

By working with a wider pool of venture debt providers, we’re able to service clients that may be backed by alternative sources – such as PE, smaller VC’s or even bootstrapped.

Liquidity

Though more runway is always better, our lending partners look more at the business from an entrepreneurial prospective vs simply how much liquidity is there from investors.

Revenue

Growth-stage companies come all have a “story” to them. Growth isn’t always a straight line, revenue isn’t always eight figures – we bring lenders to the table who get that.

How Venture Debt Works

1
Evaluation
Our first step is working together with Management to understand the goals of the business. From there we conduct an initial review with our lending partners to determine market fit and assess prospective terms.
2
Strategy Outline
Based on capital need and company profile, we outline the most compatible lending partners to pursue, walking Management through the options and determine best path forward.
3
Lender Review & Negotiations
We review the opportunity in depth with our lending partners' credit committees. We handle the process of research, reviews and cumbersome phone calls, working to bring the best terms and structures to you.
4
Term Sheet Review

Once delivered, we work through the terms with our lenders, providing feedback and working to negotiate and structure the offers best suited for you. Once negotiated terms are delivered, we review the terms with you, advising on next steps in the process to move into diligence and funding.

5
Due Diligence & Funding

Terms have been accepted and the lender is in final diligence. Clients & lenders are directly engaged to move through this process, we remain involved to ensure the process is moving along efficiently.
