How Venture Debt Became a Startup Lifeline
Lucas and Luna explore the rise of venture debt as a strategic financing tool for startups, using the current IPO drought and rising interest rates as a backdrop. They break down how companies like Brex and Silicon Valley Bank have shaped the market, and why founders are increasingly turning to debt over equity to extend runway without dilution. The episode draws on recent data, including the ARKK ETF's 2.5% weekly gain and a 9.1% surge in ARKG, to illustrate how public market volatility is driving private company financing decisions.
