Almost 100 participants joined us for our Lunch & Learn session! 🚀
Venture debt is on the rise, and for good reason—it allows for the mitigation of dilution while fueling startup growth. During the discussion led by Iwona Cymerman, we explored the alignment of different offerings—Venture Debt, Revenue-Based Financing, and Traditional Loans—with various sectors and business models.
🔷 As Luis Eduardo Pazmino pointed out, debt is meant to be a strategic tool, not a rival to equity.
🔷 Fatou Diagne emphasized that it has to be used in a smart way comparing it to fertilizer that can accelerate growth but also spoil your harvest if used in excess.
🔷 Iwona Biernat highlighted another key factor to consider when selecting a venture debt provider: the time required to close the transaction and cash flow projections.
With a $375B funding gap for growth-stage 🇪🇺 European startups, alternative financing solutions will only become more relevant.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this session & to our amazing speakers! 💙
Stay tuned for the next one!
