Looking forward to the conversation. We believe there are a lot of misperceptions in the market right now about what venture debt is and how it should be used. I’m excited to share our outlook and discuss what’s ahead for the industry. lnkd.in/gjwuP2my

Early-stage venture debt is not the same as growth lending. And it’s important to know why.   In the wake of the Silicon Valley Bank failure, venture debt has come to the forefront of conversation and has been painted with a very broad brush. This has led…lnkd.in/gpjavzDz
