Three of us.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

It's an equal split between the three of us.

Again, so venture debt is typically backed with an equity round earlier.

So we raised a 4 million equity and in India, when you raise X equity, you get 25% of that in venture debt.

So this is a million venture debt.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So this was not from an SVB equivalent, but one of the top three venture debt funds.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

No, it's a little higher, but I think considering the cost of capital that we would get from a bank, it's very much in line with that.

So if we were to borrow from a bank unsecured today, I think we'll not get it at a rate lower than what we are getting from the venture debt.

Yes.
