Bootstrap Europe

Fast growth companies often require additional money to fuel scale, yet their founders and their investors do not want to be diluted. Venture Debt is a way to postpone the next valuation event, and to provide a company with additional time to increase its value prior to a future funding round or an acquisition. The Bootstrap Europe team has supported entrepreneurs and their investors in more than 200 European transactions. Their Venture Debt fund is backed by successful entrepreneurs who in turn are providing a stable source of capital to the next generation of innovators.
