We Help You Grow
Hercules is the largest publicly listed specialty finance company serving the debt financing needs of the venture capital industry yet we are an entrepreneurial company at heart. We understand from our own entrepreneurial experience what it means to challenge conventional thinking. We've learned first hand the importance of creativity and discipline in building a company and taking it public.
Our focus is on growth – yours and ours.
Hercules Provides:
- Customized products for every stage of development designed to help you reach key growth milestones
- Entrepreneurial approach with the capital strength and transparency of the public market
We understand your business
It takes a trained eye to spot a unique opportunity. It takes years of working with entrepreneurs and building companies to know the difference between "here today, gone tomorrow" and "here to stay."
Hercules Brings:
- An experienced team with deep domain knowledge of technology-related sectors & finance
- A unique understanding that companies at different stages and different sectors have different financing needs, seldom addressed by traditional commercial banks
- An established track record of success, having backed many of today's technology leaders. Since inception, we have committed more than $2.7 billion to more than 190 companies, and growing annually
- Support of the top venture capital and private equity firms as evidenced by our growing investment portfolio
We take the long view
Hercules approaches every investment with a long-term perspective that recognizes the ebb and flow of business growth in achieving key milestones.
Hercules offers:
- An investor mindset focused on helping portfolio companies reach value-building milestones
- A lifecycle financing approach with the ability and commitment to work with companies from Series A through IPO and beyond. This means that we are both stage agnostic with the experience to work with companies from seed- or concept stage to those seeking top line revenue growth exceeding $100 million – and we have the capital base to work with companies at every stage as they grow.
