If you're a founder raising capital, it's essential to fully evaluate all your funding options—especially when comparing venture equity to venture debt. David Spreng presents two hypothetical scenarios for late-stage companies, examining the benefits and broader implications of different fundraising strategies. How did the numbers play out, and what market challenges did they face? Check out the link below for a quick read. We find this type of in-depth analysis crucial for any founder to revisit.

A strong partnership approach, a focus on late and growth-stage companies, and being selective in capital deployment. These are just a few points shared by Greg Greifeld, Deputy CIO and Head of Credit at Runway, in a recent interview about what sets us apart within the venture debt landscape. Greg also notes how our investment thesis has evolved over time and how we expect growth lending to change given the macroeconomic climate. It’s an exciting time to work with great companies that we believe are on a strong path to profitability and are seeking minimally dilutive growth capital. Thanks to Amit Chowdhry for your time!

Technology companies in our portfolio utilize venture debt financing to accelerate their hiring plans, expand into new markets, strengthen their balance sheets before an IPO or M&A event, and more. The loans we issue typically range between $10M and $75M, and serve as a complement, supplement, or alternative to equity financing. Our capital can help businesses solidify their path to profitability while minimizing shareholder dilution. Want to learn more?
