Dear community,

The European Investment Bank released podcasts to help you understand european finance and economics.

Focus today on the notion of quasi-equity.

Why a company would use quasi-equity, which he also calls “venture debt.” Quasi-equity is an innovative debt instrument. It bears the same risk as equity without diluting the founders, and therefore pays off more like equity than traditional debt.

The EIB is one of the few players in the quasi-equity market alongside Silicon Valley Bank and Kreos Capital. 

Podcast available here: http://www.eib.org/podcasts/quasi-equity
