Venture Finance

Growth Capital From a Reliable Partner

The ORIX Venture Finance team is highly experienced, dedicated, and adept at structuring flexible financing packages. We offer a variety of debt structures and equity co-investments, and take pride in our ability to grow and modify those structures over time in order to meet the diverse challenges facing today's growth companies.

At ORIX Venture Finance, we invest in learning every client's business from the inside out.  We understand that building a great company involves a combination of capable and experienced management, strong technology, large potential markets and knowledgeable capital partners that understand the unique business issues that growth companies face.  Whether a transaction is $3 million or $50 million, we bring the same level of experience, commitment and flexibility to structure the right package that can grow with a company — and meets its challenges head-on.

Since inception in 2001, ORIX Venture Finance has committed over $1 billion in capital — to more than 90 growth companies — and we have the capacity to do even more to help propel our clients to the next level.
