Why we built it
Private credit depends on relationships. The information needed to find the right lender is spread across conversations and changes over time. Lender mandates are nuanced; deal descriptions arrive in inconsistent formats; and broad outreach creates noise for everyone involved.
What Ninth Wave does
Reid, our AI relationship manager, conducts focused conversations that translate professional judgment into structured lender mandates and deal profiles. Ninth Wave then evaluates fit, gives the placement professional control over outreach, and waits for lender interest before making an introduction.
What Ninth Wave does not do
Ninth Wave does not publish a lender directory, guarantee financing, replace underwriting, or distribute opportunities without permission. It helps professionals assess fit and coordinate introductions while making their own decisions.
The operating principles
- Recommend lenders only when there is a credible fit
- Get permission before sharing an opportunity
- Explain each recommendation
- Keep lender mandates current
- Leave decisions with the professionals involved
Private launch
Ninth Wave is onboarding an initial invited cohort of US private credit lenders and placement professionals. Access is reviewed to protect network quality.
