Forward

Origination software for private credit funds: it turns a borrower's unstructured documents, financials and facility request into a structured, fund-ready opportunity with a proposed deal structure, screens deals against a fund's mandate with risks and open diligence items beside source evidence, and runs agents that track deal progression and flag covenant and repayment risks.
