Venture Capital

With offices across the world, our highly experienced team of Withers tech venture capital advisors has the in-depth market knowledge required to support investors and emerging companies in navigating every stage of the fundraising process.

We are dedicated and experienced venture capital advisors, using our deep understanding of the market to help investors and emerging companies navigate every stage of fundraising.

The Withers tech venture capital practice spans our offices across Europe (London; Milan), the US (Boston; New York; San Francisco; Los Angeles) and APAC (Singapore; Hong Kong), offering a uniquely global solution to our clients.
Withers tech’s venture capital lawyers advise clients at all stages of the funding lifecycle, including:
  • Growth and later stage funding rounds (Series B+)
  • Early stage funding rounds (Seed / Series A)
  • Venture debt
  • M&A
  • Bridge financings (including convertible notes, Safes, advance subscriptions)
  • Technology transfers & university spin-outs
The Withers tech venture capital team sits alongside the firm’s other market-leading practices serving founders and emerging companies.

The Withers tech venture capital practice is also unique with a dedicated venture debt team, supporting high growth venture-backed companies navigate this alternative and less dilutive means of financing. Companies will commonly (although not always) take on venture debt closely after an equity fundraise (generally Series A/B and beyond), as this can give them a stronger negotiating position and access to more competitive terms.
