What is alternative debt financing?

Venture debt, convertible loans, alternative debt funding: There are traditional forms of debt financing, such as bank loans, but in the past years various alternative debt financing models have emerged for startups. 

Fintech startups specialize in this area, by providing debt capital based on data-driven risk assessments, automated disbursements, and reporting. This type of financing centers on a startup’s individual capital needs, aiming to fulfill them at the most convenient time on a quarterly, monthly, or even daily basis. re:cap also provides this form of alternative debt financing.
