The Ark Growth Loan is designed to be the best complement to venture capital. The terms are customized in partnership with founders, to fit the nature of their growth trajectory. It’s always designed with a lot of legroom to pay back so companies won’t get weighed down in crucial states of their growth journey.
Terms:
An RBF product looks more like a pay-day-loan compared to the ArK Growth Loan. They are short term in nature which does not provide the type of cash flow relief that we do.
How:
We compete with venture debt on the lower end of ticket sizes. Key differences are that we have a big intel advantage, which means we can make better credit decisions and therefore fund many more businesses they ever could. Plus we are a 100% non-dilutive.
How:
Partnering with ArK in a round means PC’s can invest in more companies from the same fund. ArK tops up the round up to €10m, giving founders a lot of capital to grow while protecting equity. More horses in the stable, equipped to run faster and longer.
A lot of portfolio companies might not have hockey-stick growth at this moment but have underlying profitability. These companies can access a growth loan outside of an equity round and accelerate, while fund reserves can be placed on big bets.
