Products and Services Offered

TriplePoint Venture Growth provides a comprehensive suite of customized financing solutions designed to match the various milestones of a growing enterprise's lifecycle. Its primary financing products include:

Growth Capital Loans

• Size Range: Typically ranges from $5 million to $50 million.
• Structure: Term loans customized to match the enterprise value, equity capital base, revenue run rate, and cash profile of the borrower.
• Repayment Terms: Structured with short total repayment periods, typically 36 to 60 months or less. These loans frequently feature interest-only periods or moderate amortization in the early phases, deferring the majority of principal repayment or requiring a large lump sum payment at maturity.
• Collateral: Secured by a senior lien on all assets of the borrower, which may include a pledge or negative pledge on intellectual property.

Equipment Financings

• Size Range: Generally spans from $5 million to $25 million.
• Purpose: Designed to finance capital equipment needs over a 12-month period, covering standard off-the-shelf machinery, computers, electronic testing tools, laboratory equipment, and manufacturing systems, as well as select customized equipment or software.
• Structure: Full-payout loans or leases featuring short interest-only durations followed by full amortization, utilizing buyout provisions based on fair market value or fixed end-of-term payments.

Revolving Loans

• Facilities structured to provide flexible working capital support, helping businesses manage day-to-day liquidity, account receivables, and inventory needs alongside their core term debt.

Equity Enhancements and Warrants

• Equity "Kickers": Alongside debt products, TriplePoint Venture Growth frequently receives warrants to acquire preferred or common stock in prospective borrowers. This allows the firm to participate in the long-term equity appreciation and enterprise value growth of its client companies, enhancing total overall returns for investors.
