NAV Loans
Built for Venture Capital
Borrow against your fund's portfolio to double down on your winners even after the fund is fully called and deployed.
Read our NAV Loan DeckPE firms have used NAV loans for decades.
Private equity firms have relied on NAV loans for decades as a core investment tool: Bain's 2025 Private Equity Outlook credits them with helping push PE cash flow to breakeven in 2024.
For venture capital, the use case is straightforward. If your firm holds pro rata rights in your fund's biggest winners, a NAV loan lets the fund invest further without SPVs or cross-fund investments.

Fast, with no LP ask and fund-level upside.
Borrow against the whole portfolio to invest further into existing companies. Repay when any position exits, rebalancing the fund toward its biggest winners.
SPV
Slow, complex, and LP-dependent.
Requires a new legal entity and a fresh raise from LPs, unpredictable in today's market, with added legal, accounting, and timeline risk.
Allocation
Limited, LP-only, and a relationship risk.
Handing pro rata rights to one large LP excludes the others and the fund gives up its own upside on the investment.
