SQN Venture Partners was founded in 2015 by a seasoned team possessing decades of experience as entrepreneurs and fund managers within Venture Debt and alternative credit based investment strategies. The “SQN” in SQN Venture Partners stands for “Sine Qua Non” which was originally a Latin legal term meaning: “Without which it could not be”. It refers to an indispensable and essential action, condition, or ingredient. SQN Venture Partners strives to be the sine qua non for businesses, entrepreneurs and investors by providing financing and investment opportunities focused on senior secured, growth capital and business essential equipment transactions. Fund investors are sourced from Registered Investment Advisors, Family Offices, and Fund of Funds seeking to gain access to a non-correlated Venture Debt strategy. SQN Venture Partners has a dual mandate of being a trusted financing partner to our portfolio companies, and a meaningful allocation to Limited Partner’s investment portfolios. SQN Venture Partners was formed with the opinion that Venture Debt is an under represented asset class among accredited and institutional investors. Recent changes in the regulatory framework regarding broad distribution of private investments has created an opportunity for accredited investors to be exposed to a more diverse set of investment strategies. SQN Venture Partners provides an opportunity for investors to gain access to Venture Debt and the potential benefits to differentiate portfolio returns and access a strategy that strives to generate consistent, non-correlated yield. Prospective borrowers who are looking to address working capital or equipment financing needs, and use appropriate amounts of debt as a less dilutive way to achieve growth
