Ravi Chachra, Co-Founder of 8vdX said: "We are delighted to announce the expansion of our operations in key markets like the UK, Singapore and Australia within just eight months of launching 8vdX. We aim to offer a cross-border venture debt solution to the startups in these countries so that founders can spend more time on their businesses and less time on chasing small ticket investors. Startups do not require the 'flip' process in order to raise cash. We are working to solve a significant problem that startups and rapidly expanding businesses with a global presence are facing, and we'll keep innovating to remove friction in the venture funding market."

The company provides flexible, founder-friendly loans. If the firm is unable to pay back the loan, 8vdX has the option of turning the debt into equity or continuing to be a lender, therefore it does not seek personal guarantees from the founders or force startups to file for bankruptcy. Startups can choose to pay interest in the form of equity or a combination of equity and cash. There are no cash flow sweeps from the startup's bank account, and the 8vdX loan has no impact on the founders' personal credit history. 8vdX chooses startups for underwriting and funding approval using data-driven underwriting techniques that are driven by their KPIs' and growth metrics.
