Tranche

A tranche is a portion of a financing, investment, or distribution that is released or funded in separate parts, often based on timing, milestones, or conditions. In venture debt and structured financings, Tranche funding can reduce lender risk and align capital with performance, and Tranche mechanics are negotiated around triggers, availability periods, and covenants.
