AGENDA

What's happening

When startups look to raise capital, both venture capital and venture debt could be the perfect mix to help accelerate businesses to the next level. In this session, experienced investors Xixi Richter from the BlackRock Growth Lending team (formerly Kreos Capital) and Saranyah Douse from Octopus Ventures will discuss some key considerations when looking to raise both equity and debt capital and offer some guidance on deciding the optimal capital mix.

Some discussion topics:

  • How to structure the best deal for your business.

  • When to bring in venture capital and venture debt (and when not to).

  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid them.

  • Going through this now? Share your challenges, and we’ll adapt the discussion.
