The early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic uncertainty led to a rush for capital, with many public companies acting quickly by drawing on existing credit facilities or hitting the capital markets for new debt offerings.  From General Motors and consumer product giants, to technology companies, listed companies drew over $124 billion in debt in just the first three weeks of March 2020, and more followed later.

  • current market conditions impacting the venture-debt landscape
