Beyond Venture Capital

Founders often face a tough choice: slow down growth or give up a large chunk of equity for VC funding. Vardhman Startup Finance offers a third path—Debt Financing designed specifically for the startup ecosystem.

We look beyond traditional balance sheets. If you have a scalable business model, recurring revenue, or confirmed orders, we can fund your runway. Our loans are perfect for marketing spend, inventory buildup, or bridging the gap to your next Series A/B round.

Funding Models:

  • Revenue Based Financing: Repay as a % of monthly revenue.
  • Venture Debt: Term loans alongside VC equity rounds.
  • Inventory Funding: For D2C brands to stock up.
  • SaaS Finance: Upfront cash for annual recurring revenue.
