Hilgard Capital
Venture debtInvestment thesis
Hilgard Capital focuses on the gap between equity and credit in the fintech and blockchain markets, where equity flows freely but structured credit lags and existing options are largely asset-based. It provides secured, purpose-tied facilities such as reserve accounts, regulatory capital, premium finance, and receivables financing, with recourse to the operating company and pricing matched to risk. By understanding the sector's models, tokenomics, and risk profiles, the firm prices and deploys where traditional lenders hesitate. It supports portfolio companies with both fiat and stablecoin capital, helping founders fund requirements and extend runway without significant dilution.
