UK - Venture Debt Scene

Is anyone able to share some insights on the UK venture debt scene? In particular would be good to hear:

  • Salary prospects for Analyst/Associates

  • Mandates of funds

  • Wider views on the funds: performance, leadership etc

Off the top of my head the following funds exist in the space:

  • Hambro Perks

  • TDC (Tosca)

  • Thincats (launching an ARR product soon)

  • Claret Capital

  • Kreos Capital

  • Shard Credit Partners 

  • Boost&Co (now growth lending)

Currently sitting in debt advisory at a boutique, so was also wondering if it is worth going to doing Venture Debt at a bank first? E.g. SVB UK/HSBC
