Debt has become an increasingly popular option for startups looking for cash in a tough financing market.
HSBC hired 42 bankers from Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), which collapsed in March.
"We've been working to mobilize the broader HSBC innovation banking platform around to really be able to support companies from Series A, all the way through their journey," said David Sabow, head of technology and healthcare at the bank's U.S. innovation banking unit.
