Join Thornrock's Tier 1 Capital Partners. Put your mandate on file and you see only the middle-market opportunities that fit it — before they go to the broader market, and shared on a semi-exclusive basis with no more than two capital providers of your type.
Tier 1 is how we take a mandate to market first. It works because we keep it small and keep our word.
Every opportunity is reviewed by hand against your mandate and any specialized criteria. We value your responsiveness, so if a deal isn't a perfect fit, we don't send it.
Semi-exclusive deal flow: each opportunity goes to no more than two capital providers of the same type at a time, so the time you spend on it is worth it.
Tier 1 partners see matched opportunities during a defined first-look window, before we take them to the broader market.
We don't take your indication or term sheet to other providers to solicit a better offer. Your terms are never used as a bargaining chip.
Every opportunity is prepared, reviewed and documented before it reaches you.
Tell us what you lend or invest in: structures, check size, borrower profile, industries and geography.
A short call to confirm your criteria, decision process and timing. Your mandate goes on file.
Before anything reaches you, we manually evaluate the deal against your mandate and any specialized criteria. If it isn't a clear fit, it isn't sent.
When a deal fits, you receive an anonymized summary with the key terms and credit profile.
Sign the NDA to receive the credit memorandum, model, financials and access to management.
Respond within the first-look window. If you pass, tell us why so we can sharpen future matches. If you proceed, we work with you through term sheet, diligence and closing.
No. There is no cost to join Tier 1 or to review the opportunities we send you.
By fit with the opportunity: mandate match on size, structure, industry and geography, followed by responsiveness and closing record on past opportunities.
We don't show your indication or term sheet to other providers to get them to beat it. The company we represent compares the offers it receives and chooses; your terms aren't used to solicit better ones.
If a Tier 1 partner proceeds, we work toward a term sheet and closing. If the opportunity isn't placed during the first look, we may take it to a broader group of providers.
No. You receive opportunities only when they fit your mandate, so volume depends on your criteria and what we are working on. We would rather send you fewer deals that fit than fill your inbox.
