Pershing Ventures

Pershing Ventures, established in 2021, is a venture debt provider focused on delivering flexible and customised financing solutions to early-stage, revenue-positive businesses and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are often overlooked by traditional financial institutions. The firm combines established financing knowledge with contemporary tools, including alternative data sets and instant financial reporting, to construct financial solutions tailored to the unique operational realities and growth aspirations of its clients. Although the initial prompt stated Hong Kong as its base, Pershing Ventures is incorporated in the United States, with its headquarters located in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Nonetheless, its operational reach extends globally, serving clients in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, select markets in Western Europe, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

What sets Pershing Ventures apart is its commitment to non-dilutive revenue-based financing, which allows businesses to secure growth capital without sacrificing equity or requiring personal guarantees, collateral, or board seats. Repayment terms are structured as a pre-agreed percentage of monthly revenue, aligning with the customer's cash flow and business performance. This scalable approach is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing or developing capital structures, with many clients opting for multiple upsizes as their businesses grow.

The firm prides itself on a swift and efficient process, capable of delivering funding as quickly as two to four weeks from the initial conversation. Pershing Ventures' investment committee employs a hybrid approach, combining technologically driven due diligence with human decision-making to identify optimal financing solutions. The leadership team, comprising President and Co-Founder David Weiss and Chief Investment Officer and Co-Founder Tor Trivers, brings extensive experience in corporate advisory, cross-border transactions, and private debt structuring from their tenures at institutions like Citigroup, HSBC, and Carlyle. They emphasise fostering long-term customer value, distinguishing their approach from short-term key performance indicator-driven models. Notable partnerships include providing tailored non-dilutive financing to Galahad Life Sciences for a brand refresh and supporting Axiom Holographics with a flexible payment structure to mitigate cash flow risks.
