Tacora Capital has announced the successful raising of $268.7 million for its second venture debt fund, as reported in a new SEC filing. Founded in 2021 and based in Austin, the firm specializes in providing flexible financing solutions without equity dilution for startups. While the involvement of billionaire investor Peter Thiel remains unconfirmed, the new fund reflects the demand for non-leveraged financing in capital-intensive sectors like fintech and hardware. Tacora's first fund raised $350 million in 2022, indicating strong investor interest in venture debt.
