Drip Capital has raised $50 million in a debt funding round led by Canada-based Toronto-Dominion Bank.

The deal will also have an additional $25 million accordion feature, which means that Drip Capital will be able to extend its credit line by an additional $25 million without negotiating a new agreement.

The company will use the fresh capital to scale up its trade finance platform and its volume. 

The startup was founded by Pushkar Mukewar and Neil Kothari in 2015. Mukewar's background includes experience in investment banking and private equity, while Kothari brings expertise in technology and software engineering. 

Drip Capital offers trade financing solutions to small and medium business (SMB) clients in India, the US and Mexico. The company provides working capital to small businesses involved in international trade, predominantly focusing on cross-border engagements across sectors such as agro-commodities, processed food, textiles, industrial goods, and engineering goods.

Drip Capital last raised $113 million in a mix of debt and equity in September 2024. In total, the trade financing platform has so far raised more than $500 million in debt from marquee names such as Barclays, International Finance Corporation (IFC), and East West Bank, among others.
