Decoding Venture Debt – What Every Founder Must Know About Debt Financing

Watching this after the Vijay Mallya thing to manage some expectations lol

Love

Really like that you guys are handling more and more sophisticated topics, makes audience smarter! Just a request, maybe have LPs from Indian startup ecosystem on the show as well, would really love to appreciate their perspective!!!

Tech enabled micromanagement is necessary to go bold on debt, I guess it boils down to world & uncertainty modelling capability of a founder

Love your content , watch all episode,

Magic of IRR (and processing fee) needs to be a separate masterclass!

Great content!
Hope ,you guys make a video on family businesses, succession, etc.

Amazing episode! too much to learn for someone like me who is intrigued by venture financing and what is the theory behind returns for different kind of investors! An eye opened indeed! Pls keep such episodes coming guis!! Rooting for you all🎉🎉

Excellent Conversation. 3 of You guys Should meet Vizuara Ai Team And Write a Check To them. And Thank Me later one Of The true Impactful company In Ai Education.

It was a good candid discussion. Kudos to everyone for taking out time & expressing frank opinions.

My request - A debate on the B2B marketplaces on why these businesses get tech valuations while the entire business is offline and mostly about trading. The only online usage in these marketplaces is the NEFT/RTGS transactions that happen when the sales manager visits the office of the buyer :).

If ur startup is more than 3 years old and u have 18 months of runway.... then every Bank on the street will give you WC loans at 8-9%. U don't need to go to Venture Debt at 14-18%.
And in the last 5-6 years all the major banks have created a separate loan product especially for startups. And manybofbthem have Collateral free loan.

Venture Debt works beautifully when your runway is low and VD can be raised along with Equity. And the best use case of VD is for Term loans, small ticket M&A & IP buying.

Eye opener of an episode ! Pratilipi was a fantastic example.
