FAQs
What is venture debt?
Venture debt is financing for high-growth startups that have raised VC backing. It’s non-dilutive, letting you extend runway and fund growth without giving up excessive equity. At Forge Capital, we match you to lenders that specialize in this space and offer competitive terms.
How does venture debt differ from venture capital?
Debt is a loan — you repay with interest. Equity is an investment in your company for a stake of ownership. Venture debt complements—but doesn’t replace—equity.
How does venture debt work at Forge Capital?
Complete one simple application. We match you to multiple lenders. You compare terms, select the best fit. You get fast, flexible funding that aligns with your goals.
What can venture debt be used for?
Extend runway, invest in marketing, sales, R&D, acquisitions. With Forge Capital, you match to lenders that fund those initiatives without requiring you to give up equity.
What should founders consider before taking venture debt?
Understand repayment obligations, interest rates (commonly 10–15%), and any warrant or ownership components. With Forge Capital’s lender-matching, you compare options that limit dilution and protect your ownership.
Will venture debt affect future equity rounds?
Used strategically, yes—it can enhance your next raise by showing runway and discipline. But excessive debt can hurt investor confidence. That’s why we help you match to lenders that align with your future fundraising strategy.
