Davidson & W Technology Growth Fund provides debt financing to mid-late stage tech companies in Europe and across the globe. Growth Debt is a form of hybrid capital, featuring both debt and equity components, customized for young and growing tech companies. Our typical borrowers are mid-late stage tech companies with €10-100M annual revenues, cash-flow positive or close to break-even. We would like you to use the loan to grow the business, expand to new markets, hire talent and increase shareholder value. Solid management team and ability to pay back the loan out of cash-flow are essential. Your accounts receivable, inventory and/or IP rights can serve as collateral. WHAT IS THE LOAN USUALLY USED FOR? A Growth Debt loan facility is significantly more flexible compared to standard lending terms from commercial lenders, such as banks. It is generally secured against the company’s assets and can be highly customized to the borrower’s individual needs, the cash-flow projections, growth milestones and working capital needs. OUR SOLUTION Growth Debt enhances the company’s cash buffer, helps leverage the equity capital and increases the return on equity.
