About CreditBase
Deals get done by people.
We started CreditBase because the deal is scattered across data rooms, inboxes and spreadsheets, and the team spends its days reconstructing where everything stands. We put human-first agents on that grind, and every credit agreement, term sheet and amendment in one place, so deal makers spend their time on what AI can't replace: the judgment calls and the relationships.
What we believe
Deals are won by people
Agents take the grind: the spreading, the drafting, the reconciliation. The structuring calls and the relationships stay human. That isn't a limitation to design around; it's the whole point.
The deal belongs in one place
Not scattered across inboxes, data rooms and drives, reconstructed from memory every time someone asks where things stand. Captured at the source, in the tools the team already works in.
Trust is the product
Selling to private credit means earning the confidence of people who answer to regulators and LPs. Source-cited, auditable, walled, and never trained on your data. By default, not on request.
Built by operators, for operators
We've sat on both sides of this: structuring leveraged-finance deals and shipping AI at scale. CreditBase is the tool we wanted on the desk.
