How lenders assess risk vs. equity
The venture debt market is data driven
Lenders assess 50+ parameters and each lender weighs them differently. Lenders’ criteria is fundamentally different from equity investment criteria.
The Blind Meeting Risk
Entering lender meetings without knowing how your company maps to lender criteria leads to wasted cycles and avoidable rejections.

FAQ
Venture debt FAQs
Do I qualify for Venture Debt?
For non-recourse debt, many lenders focus on technology companies with some revenue (ideally over $1M) or on startups that have recently raised a VC round (preferably within the last 12 months).
Venture Debt vs. Equity?
Debt is non-dilutive. It is ideal for runway extension or growth when revenue is predictable. Equity is better for high-risk R&D. Often debt is used to grow your valuation before selling more shares.
How much can I raise?
The amount you can raise depends on several factors. For instance, in non-recourse revenue-linked lending structures for software companies, loan sizes typically range between 30% and 50% of net revenue.
