Peter Thiel-backed firm Tacora raises $685M to grow venture debt strategy
Tacora Capital, a venture debt firm backed by Peter Thiel, has raised $685 million in new funds across two vehicles. The capital will be used to provide structured credit and financing to early- and growth-stage startups, offering alternatives to traditional equity fundraising.
