Done-for-you deal origination · Private credit

Qualified deals,delivered to your desk.Done for you.

Private credit is a sourcing problem. We find off-market US SMEs entering a financing window, qualify them, and route a warm introduction with a credit brief attached. You take the call. We get paid when the deal funds.

The problem

You have capital.
Qualified deal flow is the hard part.

Every credit fund hits the same wall. Sponsor relationships dry up. Brokered deals land in six inboxes at once. An in-house BDM runs $500K+ before producing a single introduction. Three structural bottlenecks. All solvable.

Challenge 01
Pipeline gap

Sponsor deal flow is cyclical.

Concentration risk · stalled origination

Most lenders rely on two or three sponsor relationships for 70%+ of pipeline. When those pause, origination stops. Building an in-house BDM function takes 12–18 months and $500k+ before it produces a single introduction.

of lenders report pipeline gaps40%
Challenge 02
No exclusivity

Brokered deals have no exclusivity.

Six inboxes · price competition by default

The same opportunity lands in six inboxes simultaneously. You compete on price every time. Average close rate on brokered deals is under 15% — meaning 85% of origination effort is burned on deals you won't win.

Challenge 03
List ≠ pipeline

Data tools still need someone to act.

Capix, Grata · static lists, no execution

Platforms like Capix and Grata give analysts a list. Someone still has to research, outreach, qualify, and book. That someone costs $150k+ per year — and takes a year to ramp. Lists aren't deal flow.

What we do for you

We deliver qualified deals.
You fund them.

We find off-market SMEs entering a financing window, qualify them against your mandate, run the outbound, and route the introduction warm. Every brief is exclusive to one lender. We get paid when the deal funds.

Signal engine

We find deals before anyone else.

Our signal engine monitors 2,800+ data sources around the clock — SEC filings, LinkedIn, job boards, state permits, news — scoring every SME in your mandate against financing-signal patterns tuned for private credit.

2,847
sources monitored
Credit team

We turn signals into underwriting-ready briefs.

Every qualified target becomes a one-page credit memo — revenue, EBITDA estimate, debt capacity, mandate-match score, key signals. A named analyst on your account reviews and verifies every brief before it reaches you.

briefs per month
Origination

We run the outbound. You take the call.

Our origination team contacts each operator under a separate advisory identity, qualifies interest, and pre-briefs them on your process. The introduction lands warm, with a drafted deal memo attached. Exclusive to you — always.
