Why expertise matters when underwriting venture debt

Specialty lending requires highly specialized skills. That’s why one of Espresso’s key differentiators is our team’s depth of expertise. Because we provide capital to companies seeking to proactively grow their revenue, we have to evaluate opportunities differently than traditional lenders do. That means going much deeper than just looking at a company’s financials. We also have to assess things like its management team, its unit economics and other business fundamentals, as well as the market outlook and any existing investor support. Ultimately, this analysis is essential to determining which businesses will be good borrowers and which won’t.
