Convertible Instruments —
Bridge Financing
Convertible financing designed to meet the capital gap between two equity rounds. This instrument provides
immediate capital without requiring the company to negotiate a full valuation, converting into equity at a discount when the next round closes.
Bridge financing done right protects the founder’s valuation and preserves momentum. Our convertible structures are fair, fully explained, and free of predatory terms
Target
Companies between two equity rounds that need capital to reach the next milestone
Repayment
Converts at series close, or repaid if conversion conditions are not met
Speed
Faster to structure and disburse than a full equity round
Alternative lending
Structured, cash-flow-based financing to support the cash runway of venture-backed companies. AVF’s debt
underwriting is based on the quality of underlying assets and the sustainability of cash flows — a hybrid credit approach that does not rely on traditional collateral. AVF extends lending supports based on the requirement which includes WC loan, Term Loan and Project Finance.
Alternative lending allows founders to extend runway, fund a specific growth initiative, or optimize their capital structure — without giving up additional equity.
Target
Venture-backed companies with underlying asset value or predictable cash flows
Repayment
Flexible schedule aligned to the company’s cash flow cycle
Tenure
12 to 36 months
Security
Based on underlying asset value and cash flow quality
