Tyler Jewell

CEO & President, Akka

"Venture debt has always been a part of our fundraising strategy. We love that it’s non-dilutive, helps to smooth out overall capital planning, and that it can be structured around the growth of our business. I also couldn’t be happier to be working with the Espresso team again, who have been trusted partners for many years now.”

Mark Walker

CEO, Nue

“We have been very impressed with Espresso. Not only were they far more inquisitive than any other venture lender we spoke to, they also have been reasonable, fair, and good business partners. I’m very pleased to have found a partner that we know will work with us to grow the business.”

Steve Swad

CEO, Ideon

Every interaction we’ve had with Espresso has been positive. The team is reasonable, easy to work with, and didn’t throw up any artificial roadblocks along the way like some investors might.

Daniel Reese

CEO, IntellaTriage

Anthony and the CREtelligent team have built a phenomenal business that is entering its next stage of growth. Their ability to postpone a large dilutive equity raise by tapping into Espresso Capital’s innovative financing facility will result in significantly increased value for all shareholders. 

Lokesh Sikaria

Founder and Managing Partner, Moneta Ventures

Espresso has a very impressive operation. They delivered a great experience that was timely and transparent and that offered better terms than anyone else we spoke to. We couldn’t have been more pleased.

Tony Malz

CFO, Innovapptive

“We value our relationship with Espresso. They bring the flexibility, experience, and intricate knowledge of the market that we were looking for, and have been great to work with at every step of the process.”

Steve Biancaniello

CEO, Messagepoint

We’ve worked with Espresso before and liked their flexible approach to funding fast-growing companies. The team has a deep understanding of what it takes to scale and build successful companies and know how to structure their debt facilities to best support that growth.

Espresso is truly leading the way in modern day venture debt lending. They run a seamless process, are great to work with, and offer facilities that are clearly designed to be founder friendly. We look forward to growing the business together with them.

Nick Moutter

Partnering with Espresso has been fantastic. They had the best term sheet, stuck to their word, and conducted their process efficiently. We appreciate that working with them was simple and straightforward.

Antony Evans

Espresso’s approach resonated with us. They understood the business and worked closely with 4C and the investors to structure a financing solution that met the company’s unique requirements.

Sach Chitnis

Working with Espresso has been a great experience. It’s an excellent team and one that instantly made us feel comfortable. We’ll definitely expand our partnership over time as we look to further grow the business both organically and through strategic acquisitions.
