Do you own any BDCs? Business development companies offer retail investors high-yield exposure to private companies, and some of them, like Trinity Capital Inc. (NASDAQ:TRIN), focus on companies which already are backed by venture capital firms. These other firms don't want to lose their investments, and will continue to support these companies. This has been crucial during and after the pandemic. Trinity Capital Inc. is an internally-managed BDC which specializes in venture debt to growth stage companies looking for loans and/or equipment financing.
