We are delighted to announce that Kym Jesse joined Mishcon de Reya as Of Counsel in our Corporate department in June, strengthening our Corporate Innovation and Venture Capital team.
Kym brings over 20 years’ experience as a debt finance lawyer, with a particular focus on venture debt—a strategic funding option for venture-backed start-ups and scale-ups. She is passionate about helping ambitious companies in Cambridge and beyond access growth capital while preserving equity and control.
Venture debt offers founders a complementary alternative to consider in addition to traditional equity financing, enabling them to extend runway, accelerate development, and pursue strategic opportunities without significant dilution. Kym’s expertise lies in guiding clients through the process, helping them leverage the quality of their investors and future valuation potential to secure funding that supports talent acquisition, product development, and expansion.
Kym’s arrival further enhances our ability to advise Cambridge’s innovation-driven businesses on innovative financing solutions and long-term growth strategies.
If you would like to learn more about venture debt or discuss your funding options, please do get in touch.
