About This Event:

In today's rapidly evolving fundraising environment, more and more companies are leveraging venture debt to extend runway, fuel growth, and strengthen their negotiating position for their next equity raise.Both SVB (as a leading venture debt provider) and FirstMark (as an investor/board member) have had front-row seats to this process and how companies of all stages of scale have strategically used venture debt on their path to success.In this members-only event, you can expect to get a candid, off-the-record look into venture debt that dives into key findings and strategies tailored for founders, including:

  • When raising venture debt is the right decision (and equally important, when it's not)
  • Inside strategies for how to negotiate terms, rates, and covenants
  • The most common mistakes they see companies make when it comes to venture debt
  • A look at actual term sheets and deals from successful startups

And of course, there will be plenty of time for Q&A.
