When’s the best time to start thinking about venture debt??Before you need it! As a go-to finance partner for my Venture Best? Best colleagues, I’ve seen how getting a venture loan can be overwhelming for a young, lean, company.?It takes more work than most clients expect.?So, I highly recommend that startups considering a venture debt loan speak with their lawyers before shopping for lenders.?A little advance knowledge, organization, and a good game plan can save a ton of time and money – after all, that loan is to grow your business, not pay the lawyers. I'm sure to hear from Jordan Koss if I don't also note that, while venture debt is on the rise, the best financing tool for any startup will always be the one that matches its growth strategy.

?? Minnesota winters can make happy hours a gamble—between packed schedules, youth sports, and unpredictable weather, it’s tough to get people in a room. But last night? Standing room only at the Angel Investor Happy Hour! ?? We brought together 40+ Angel Investors for an evening of networking, insights, and an incredible panel discussion—co-hosted by Gopher Angels, Venture Best?, and Great North Ventures. A huge shoutout to our panel: ?? Sara Russick—5x founder & Gopher Angels co-founder—who expertly moderated the discussion ?? Robert Weber — Managing Partner at Great North Ventures ?? Carl M. Stamp, longtime angel investor and executive The topic? Demystifying early-stage startup metrics & investing—a must-know for anyone serious about angel investing. Bringing this many Angel Investors together in the Twin Cities is rare, and I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to connect with each of them. Let’s keep building the ecosystem! ???? #AngelInvesting #Startups #VentureCapital #TwinCities #Networking #Investing Neal Tovsen Mitch Lark Joseph Morseth Brian Pitts Hayley Brooks Jim Moar Adam Gettings Jacqueline Mejia, PhD Jai Kissoon Himanshu Laiker, MBA
