Investment thesis
STV believes that traditional venture debt is poorly suited for asset-light, high-growth tech startups due to its fixed repayments, stringent covenants, and full downside risk. The firm developed NICE as a more founder-friendly non-dilutive financing instrument based on callable equity with variable, revenue-linked repayments and no covenants. This structure aligns investor returns with company performance while preserving founder control and operational flexibility for scaling businesses.
