Technology + Venture Lending

Lenders and venture debt financing clients in the technology space rely on us for all aspects of their financing transactions with early, middle, and late-stage technology companies. Our experience over the past 25 years handling transactions — valued at more than $20 billion — positions our team as one of the most experienced tech and venture lending practices in the U.S.

We advise clients on the risks and benefits of changes to terms and structures, offer practical solutions, and help them develop and maintain strong and cooperative working relationships with their borrowers. Our team also works collaboratively with clients to help them stay informed of the latest market trends and practices.

Our clients include banks, venture debt funds, and other non-banking entities that provide financing to early, middle- and late-stage technology companies, as well as venture capital funds and private equity firms that focus on investing in such companies.

We offer considerable experience with deals involving technologies such as:

We know how to structure loan facilities for our tech lending and venture debt financing clients whose borrowers are not yet profitable or lack significant assets to use as collateral. Our attorneys are also well versed in structuring capital call facilities with venture capital funds that often invest in the same technology companies that seek financing from our tech lending and venture debt financing clients.

Our team offers considerable experience handling transactions involving accounts receivable-based lines of credit, non-formula lines of credit, “recurring revenue” lines of credit, “venture debt” term loans, equipment term loans, and growth capital loans. We also advise on complex intellectual property and securities issues that may arise during the underwriting, due diligence, or documentation phase of such transactions.
