Debt Financing & Venture Capital: An Unlikely Synergy with Ali Hamed of CoVenture Innovation with Mark Peter Davis

    • Entrepreneurship

Ali Hamed is a Partner at CoVenture Holding Company LLC. Since his college days he’s been building an impressive network and unsurprisingly has built an impressive business.

What’s unique about CoVenture’s model is that they’ve found an interesting synergy between debt financing and venture capital. In addition to making venture investments, Ali and his team provide balance sheet capital to innovative companies that are financing new asset classes. As CoVenture puts it: “CoVenture partners with founders who are inventing new asset classes, identifying new economies, or who require alternative types of capital to grow -- and backs them with venture capital and/or debt financing.”

If you’re interested in the business models of venture capital, debt or general finance I think you’ll find this conversation to be educational. I certainly did.
