Your mandate becomes the filter
A lender profile captures more than check size and industry. It covers structure, borrower scale, sponsorship, geography, return requirements, leverage preferences, underwriting posture, and the situations that deserve a closer look.
- Review and edit the resulting profile before it becomes active
- Keep changing deployment preferences current
- Separate distinct strategies when one firm deploys through multiple mandates
A deal reaches you only after two decisions
First, the opportunity must fit the lender mandate. Second, the placement professional must approve sharing it with you. That protects the broker’s process and prevents the network from becoming a lender directory.
- Broker-controlled first-wave distribution
- A clear explanation of the fit and any important stretch
- Contact information remains private until both sides opt in
Passes improve the signal
A quick pass is useful information, not a failed interaction. Structured reasons—size, industry, pricing, or another concern—help distinguish a temporary mismatch from a mandate that needs clarification.
- One optional follow-up, not a drip campaign
- No forced introductions
- No claim that every opportunity has a strong match
Built for professional judgment
Ninth Wave narrows the field; it does not replace underwriting. Lenders receive a concise deal profile and decide whether the opportunity warrants direct engagement.
