Beyond Equity: How Venture Debt Can Fuel Your Startup's Growth

What is venture debt and why should you use it? Is it the missing piece in your startup's funding strategy?

In the fast-paced world of startups, choosing the right financing can be the difference between scaling successfully and stalling out. While venture capital often dominates the conversation in the startup ecosystem, there's another, less discussed option that can be a game-changer for certain companies—venture debt.

In this episode of P&L, we dive into the intricacies of venture debt with Dr. Jeremy Loh, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Genesis Alternative Ventures. Together, we explore what venture debt is, how it differs from other financing options, and why it might be the right choice for your startup.

We’ll break down the benefits and risks, the due diligence process, and the typical cost structure, while also discussing scenarios where venture debt is most advantageous. Plus, we’ll cover best practices for founders considering this option, ensuring you're fully prepared to engage with a venture debt firm and leverage this financing tool effectively.

Whether you're a startup founder weighing your funding options or simply curious about the financial landscape, this episode offers essential insights to help you navigate the complex world of venture debt.
