Undiluted Contributor Programme
Become an Undiluted Contributor
We're inviting a small selection of industry leaders with first-hand experience of venture debt, growth credit and financing growth companies to become Founding Contributors to Undiluted.
Founding Contributors will have the opportunity to publish original Perspectives on Undiluted and contribute to the conversations shaping the market.
- Lenders
- Investors
- Lawyers
- Advisers
- LPs
- Founders
- CFOs
What we're looking for
We want perspectives that come from real experience of the market.
That might mean a strong argument about how the market is changing, lessons from a transaction, a view on underwriting or deal structures, practical advice for founders and CFOs, or a challenge to conventional thinking.
Good fit
- A clear and distinctive point of view
- Lessons from real transactions
- First-hand founder or CFO experience
- Market analysis
- Underwriting and portfolio perspectives
- Pricing, covenants, warrants and deal structures
- Regulatory or legal analysis
- Data-led perspectives
- Contrarian or challenging arguments
- Practical advice for borrowers or lenders
Not a fit
- Company announcements
- Product or fund promotion
- Generic ‘state of venture debt’ type pieces
- SEO-driven articles
- PR copy presented as analysis
- Articles written primarily to obtain a backlink
- Clearly AI-generated content
- Previously published pieces
Who can contribute
We welcome applications from contributors working across the growth financing market, including founders, CFOs, lenders, banks, private credit investors, lawyers, advisers, LPs and other relevant practitioners.
You do not need to represent a large institution. We care more about the quality of the perspective than the size of the organisation.
How it works
Pitch the idea
Tell us what you would like to write about and the perspective you would bring.
Agree the angle
If we think it is a fit for Undiluted, we’ll work with you to agree on the framing before you start writing.
Write and edit
You draft the piece. Undiluted may edit for clarity, structure, accuracy and style.
Publish and share
We publish the finished Perspective and share it with our audience.
Help the piece travel
Once your Perspective is published, we'll help it reach the market, and we ask contributors to actively support its distribution too.
What we’ll do
- Feature your Perspective on Undiluted
- Consider it for The Stack, our fortnightly newsletter
- Share it across Undiluted’s social channels, including LinkedIn
- Put paid promotion behind selected pieces on LinkedIn to reach a wider audience
What we ask of you
- Share it on your personal LinkedIn
- Share it through your company’s social channels or newsletter
- Link to the Perspective on Undiluted from your organisation’s website, on the blog, newsroom or insights section
Newsletter, social and paid promotion are decided piece by piece.
A deliberately small contributor network
Undiluted is not an open guest-posting platform.
We accept only a small number of contributors and limit repeat contributions from the same organisation.
Founding Contributor status is intended for practitioners who can bring genuine expertise, experience or a differentiated point of view to the publication.
Submission does not guarantee publication, newsletter inclusion or social promotion. Undiluted retains editorial control over headlines, structure, formatting and final publication. Commercial partnerships are separate from editorial contributions.
