Maria Bo (HSBC Innovation Bank) and Thomas Green (CFO at Creative Force), hosted a high-impact Collective Session demystifying Venture Debt - a powerful but sometimes overlooked fundraising tool.

They covered how to leverage venture debt to extend your runway, avoid unnecessary dilution, and complement your equity financing strategy, including:

• What venture debt is (and isn’t), and when it makes sense to use it
• Key terms, structures, and trade-offs you need to understand
• Real-world examples and insights from both the founder and investor perspective
• Practical tips to prepare for a venture debt raise, from financial metrics to investor updates
