What Is Venture Debt?

Venture debt is non-dilutive capital offered to high-growth businesses often alongside or shortly after an equity round. It gives you flexible working capital without giving up more ownership.
‍
It’s typically structured as a term loan or revolving facility, based on your recent or current raise, growth trajectory, and financial profile. Some lenders may request equity warrants or light covenants.

Freqently asked questions

Button Text
Do I need VC funding to qualify?

Not always. Some lenders will fund fast-growth businesses with strong traction and a compelling raise underway or just closed.

Will I give up equity?

Not directly. Lenders may ask for small warrant positions. We help you weigh the cost vs benefit.

How long does it take to secure funding?

Expect 3–8 weeks depending on the structure, lender, and deal size.

What documents are required?

Your pitch deck, latest raise terms, cap table, bank statements, and financial model.

Can this improve future raise outcomes?

Yes. Well-structured debt can help you hit milestones and raise at better terms later.
