Panel | Fundraising for the long-term horizon: blending equity and debt

Oct 15, 2026 | 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM

Equity gets the headlines, but the balanced funding strategies combine multiple instruments. This session unpacks how growth-stage companies can blend equity rounds with venture debt to extend runway, preserve strategic control, and align their capital structure with long-term ambitions. The conversation explores when debt makes sense alongside equity, how to sequence instruments across funding rounds and what investors and lenders look for when partnering together.
