Startup Terms Glossary
What is Venture Debt?
Venture debt refers to money that is given to venture-backed startups by specialized banks or lenders. It is often used to cover operating costs and is often given to startups in the early stages of their companies. Generally, venture debt comes with a three- or four-year loan term or equipment rental and does not dilute the equity of a startup.
Venture Debt Examples
Examples of venture debt:
- Example 1. Valuation not required to be eligible for venture debt
- Example 2. Can come from banks or non-bank lenders
- Example 3. Collateral is not required

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
