Debt Model
Fund: Sentient Ventures
Posted by fundable2 on 2007-10-22
From an interaction with Sentient, they say they are currently focused only on debt financing. You need to be cashflow positive for them to be interested. This may change in the future, but don't bother contacting them right now if you are early stage (in the red) or are looking for equity.

If you are looking for early stage money in Austin and haven't heard of Sentient, you should definitely check them out. They aren't your typical VC firm; so they aren't for everyone. But, I found their model innovative and intriguing.
David Lee and James Wells were class acts. We negotiated on and eventually passed on their term sheet, and they were gentlemen throughout the process.
