The Problem

Capital is available. Pre-market deal flow isn't.

Private credit lenders face the same origination bottleneck: reliance on sponsors, shared broker flow, or expensive in-house teams that can't scale.

Sponsor deal flow is cyclical and unpredictable

When M&A slows, pipelines dry up. Non-sponsor origination requires expensive in-house BDM teams that cost $150k+ per head and take 12–18 months to ramp.

Hover

Brokered deals have zero exclusivity

The same opportunity lands in six inboxes simultaneously. You compete on price every time. 85% of your origination effort is wasted on deals you won't win.

6x

Data tools still need someone to act on them

Platforms like Capix and Grata give analysts a list. Someone still has to research, outreach, qualify and book. That someone costs $150k+ per year.
