In today's fast-evolving financial markets, startups, venture capitalists, and private credit professionals need more than just a one-size-fits-all solution. They need a platform that understands the intricacies of asset-based finance and can offer global coverage, transparency, and flexibility. Enter Cascade—your ultimate partner in asset-based lending and private credit transactions.
Cascade was founded by two former private credit fund managers. They are true subject matter experts who have experienced firsthand the challenges of scaling AUM without simultaneously scaling your headcount. They also witnessed the severe operational burden that the companies they would evaluate and invest in experienced. They built Cascade to solve the challenges they know exist in the market to democratize and accelerate access to private credit. Their mission is to make private credit simpler, less risky, and less operationally intensive for all counterparties involved in the transaction.
Cascade is explicitly designed for asset-based finance and complex private credit transactions. Unlike many competitors that only support simple debt structures, our platform excels in handling the most complex deals. Whether you're dealing with warehouse lines, forward flow agreements, or multi-class debt facilities, Cascade has the tools and flexibility to meet your needs.
One of the most significant differentiators of Cascade is our approach to data. We don’t just show investors self-reported portfolio company data. Instead, we recalculate all critical data from the ground up. Serving as a neutral third-party data agent, we enhance transparency and trust among all parties involved in a transaction. This objectivity is crucial for investors and borrowers, ensuring everyone works with accurate and reliable information.
Most platforms limit their support to the US or a single region, leaving businesses with international interests in a lurch. Cascade offers global coverage, ensuring that our platform can support your lending activities no matter where your business operates or where your investors are located. This global reach means you can seamlessly manage facilities across multiple countries, making international expansion and investment in emerging markets possible and straightforward.
Cascade's platform is built to automate loan operations end-to-end, significantly reducing the time and effort required to raise and manage complex debt facilities. Our users report spending up to 90% less time on reporting and experiencing 75% faster transaction closings. This operational efficiency allows you to focus on what truly matters—growing your business.
Direct data integrations provide real-time reporting, offering institutional-grade risk analytics that you can trust. This feature enables better risk management and decision-making, giving you a clear view of your financial landscape at any moment.
Cascade's extensive contract library, back-testing, and agreement reconciliation tools allow you to structure deals with more confidence. Whether you're managing consumer loans, auto leases, or revenue-based financing, our platform can support your unique requirements.
