Hercules has been a great partner for Box since 2008 They were very supportive during the financial crisis and grew through multiple transactions as our business started to scale The Hercules team is flexible, creative and easy to work with I would highly recommend them for any growth company looking for capital

Hercules’ understanding and decades of experience working with companies in the life sciences sector meant they were able to recognize the elements – an experienced management team, a solid product and a well-managed balance sheet – that make up a company positioned to realize its full potential

By turning to Hercules, a specialty finance company that focused on venture debt in the technology space, Druva was able to access more capital than a traditional bank could provide and avoid the dilution that would be caused by raising additional equity

Plug Power had been experiencing tremendous growth and needed to obtain non-dilutive, growth capital This would mean finding a financial partner that could understand its sophisticated financing structure which included a number of instruments like sale/leaseback project financing

The Hercules’ Special Situations underwriting team recognized that despite setbacks, ReachLocal’s fundamentals remained strong, and the company was led by a very talented management team In April 2015, ReachLocal closed on a $25 million long-term loan facility with Hercules Capital to meet working capital needs
