## Resource

TechCredit Partners helps tech founders raise debt capital to fund growth without giving up more of their company. The firm has raised close to $1 billion for clients across more than 20 countries in the last three years. Linus Eriksson Noren and Resat Ozutok are Co-founders of TechCredit Partners. Most founders don't realize how much of their business, like contracts or equipment, can be used to raise debt instead of equity, which is exactly the gap the two are trying to close.
