Venture Debt:
A Strategic Plan

Boosting Growth

Venture debt is a critical factor in the growth of the venture ecosystem. It is a flexible financial tool that helps businesses fund R&D, reach key milestones, hire team members, pursue new verticals, expand geographically, and more. All result in an increase in valuation. Venture debt can be utilized before, during, or after an equity round.

A Valuable Tool

Venture debt enhances operations with working capital, capital expenses, and opportunistic growth. It’s effective, along with a disciplined approach, to extend runway and provide greater balance sheet flexibility. It is also a solution for companies that are not ready for another equity round or require smaller-scale financing.

"Pivotal was a tremendous partner throughout our relationship. They took the time to understand our business and really helped when it counted, not just at the beginning of our relationship. Their patient partnership approach ensured a smooth transition as Blue Pillar was being acquired even when we hit a few bumps along the way."

Jeff Pontius
CFO, Blue Pillar

"Pivotal Capital has been an incredible partner for us - we previously had been working with a traditional bank who didn't understand the complexity, nuance and focus required to grow a venture backed business the way Pivotal does. They not only provide us with great capital solutions, but strong partnership and human capital. They use their expertise to help us think through different options for our business and leverage their vast network across the financing landscape to support our company’s growth."
