The Asset Based Lending Masterclass Part II of III. Raising Debt Capital for your Specialty Finance, Fintech Lending, or Alternative Lending Platform with Special Guest and Asset Backed Podcast Contributor Matt Edgar, Founder & CEO of Edgar Matthews

Matt Edgar, Founder & CEO of boutique investment bank Edgar Mathews & Co., and I recently recorded part two of our three part series Masterclass in Asset Based Lending. This is episode II of III.

In recent months specialty finance, asset based finance, and different related credit themes have gotten significant attention in the press and from market participants. Together Matt and I dive into the process of how a growing lending business raises debt financing. This content will be particularly beneficial we believe for growth-stage and middle-market sized originators and lending businesses who are seeking to execute their first securitization and rated transaction. Originators who have previously raised other financing and debt facilities from institutional capital providers and are evaluating the ABS market will find this conversation potentially relevant given the nuances and differences the ABS marketplace presents from other funding markets. I hope you enjoy and join us on each of these special episodes.
