Oaktree-backed Runway Growth Credit Fund closes equity raise on $275m

The fundraise comes amid the potential for a record year in venture capital deal volume.

Runway Growth Credit Fund, a business development company, has locked down $275 million for early-stage lending, which included an increased capital commitment from Oaktree Capital Management.

The Chicago-based BDC makes loans of $5 million-$30 million to fast-growing Canada- and US-based businesses that are looking for a funding source outside of venture capital or growth equity, Runway said in a statement.
