Startup debt & venture financing in India

Venture debt is borrowed growth capital you repay with interest over a fixed term, usually raised alongside or just after an equity round. It extends your runway with minimal dilution instead of selling more of the company.

Venture-debt and revenue-based lenders underwrite on traction, recurring revenue and the quality of your investors rather than hard collateral or years of profit. Terms are built for startups, and some lenders take a small warrant instead of heavy security.

When you have predictable revenue or a recent raise and want to extend runway, fund a specific asset, or hit the next milestone without diluting further. Debt is cheaper than equity if you can comfortably service the repayments.

Most venture-debt and revenue-based financing providers want recurring or predictable revenue; a few back recently-funded, pre-revenue startups on the strength of their backers. Each listing notes the stage and revenue it's built for.

Far less than an equity round — at most a small warrant in some deals. The bulk of the capital is repaid in cash, so your ownership stays largely intact.
