Bob Morrison, Executive Director of the Desert Angels in Tuscon, is hosting the Southwest Regional Angel Summit March 24 and 25th in Tucson. One day for networking and the next day it's the Innovation Showcase at the University of Arizona. I'm making it a long weekend and bringing the family.

What do Cadforce, YouMail, Cluepedia and Vigilistics all have in common? Yes they're all Tech Coast Angels portfolio companies, but more to the point, they've all used venture debt to accelerate their growth.

Vencore Capital's Managing Director for Southern California, Eric Speer, joins me on the podcast and we discuss the options venture debt can offer entrepreneurs.
