The numbers speak for themselves—our strategic relationship with Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank, is hitting its stride. With more than $500M in signed commitments already in 2025, we’re just getting started. Here's what we've accomplished together in the first half of the year: ✅ Multiple signed term sheets ✅ Debt facilities from $20MM to $100MM ✅ Focus areas: Hardware 🛠️ & Infrastructure 🏗️ , Enterprise Software 🖥️, Cloud ☁️ & AI 🤖 This activity reflects broader positive trends in venture debt. According to PitchBook, total venture debt volume reached $58.7 billion in 2024—more than 2x the $26.8 billion from 2023. What's driving this growth? 💡 Companies staying private longer ⚖️ Softening capital markets creating opportunities 🤝 Founders increasingly viewing debt as a complementary financing tool 📈 Growing investor appetite for yield in private credit As Jim Ellison, Managing Partner at Pinegrove Venture Partners, noted: "Our combined expertise and complementary capabilities are allowing us to offer tailored financing solutions that truly meet the needs of companies in the Innovation Economy." Mike Devery, Head of Strategic Capital at SVB, added: "These recent transactions highlight the value that our relationship with Pinegrove is offering companies across the innovation economy.
