- The Venture Debt Conference is set for March 6, 2024, at the Edison Ballroom in Manhattan
- Now in its second year, this is the largest forum dedicated to non-dilutive financing strategies for emerging growth companies
- The conference also explores various forms of financing available to start-ups, including term loans, revenue-based financing, receivables financing and equipment financing, among others
Venture debt has rapidly grabbed attention as an attractive complement to venture capital funding for fast-growing start-ups. A catch-all term for loans designed to meet the unique needs of venture-backed start-ups in the innovation economy, venture debt has gained increasing popularity as a financing option for founders seeking to extend their runway, lower the cost of capital and most importantly, to thrive.
Venture debt can provide companies with an increased funding runway without the same level of dilution as an equity raise; better still, it is capital that founders can often employ to accelerate growth, achieve milestones and cover costs until a future funding round is successfully completed.
With over 20 years of experience and having hosted over 200 conferences, seminars and webcasts on a variety of financial topics, DealFlow Events is gearing up to host the second annual Venture Debt Conference, set for March 6, 2024 in New York City. A full-day forum designed to address the growing interest in venture debt as a complement to venture capital, the Venture Debt Conference will provide corporate executives with a closer look at these alternative financing options.
This event attracts a wide array of attendees, including speciality lending companies, commercial banks, family offices, and emerging growth companies.
The Venture Debt Conference will explore a key funding channel that has grown by more than 400% between 2012 and 2022. In addition to diving into the benefits of debt financing for both traditional and nonbank lenders, the forum will evaluate common venture debt loan products and terms, analyse new entrants in the market and their various strategies, delve into the changing requirements from corporate borrowers, as well as focusing on the ultimate impact of these loans.
This year’s forum features a number of keynote presentations from experts in the field, including the ‘State of the Venture Debt Market’; ‘Why is Venture Debt a Terrible Idea?’; ‘Cross-Border Venture Debt Deals’; and ‘Navigating Distress in Venture Debt’.
Speakers include Warren Biro, Partner at Barnes & Thornburg; Dan Devorsetz, COO at Horizon Technology Finance; Tyler Dietrich, Managing Director at Silicon Valley Bank; and Randy Garg, Founder at Vistara Growth, among several others.
