Platform Overview

The end-to-end software platform for private capital debt financing - for PE sponsors, direct lenders, debt advisors, and law firms.

What Termgrid is

Termgrid is a purpose-built software platform for the private capital debt markets - built by practitioners with deep experience in private capital. It digitizes the full lifecycle of a debt financing, from launching a process and engaging lenders, to negotiating terms, closing the deal, and monitoring the credit through the life of the loan.

Rather than running deals across email threads, shared drives, spreadsheets, and standalone data rooms, sponsors, lenders, and advisors run them on a single connected workspace. Every interaction, document, and term is captured automatically, creating a structured institutional record that compounds value over time.

Termgrid is used across private equity firms, direct lenders and private credit funds, debt advisors, and law firms - covering leveraged finance, LBOs, refinancings, add-on facilities, dividend recaps, fund finance, co-investment processes, and ongoing portfolio credits. The platform supports both bespoke private credit deals and large syndicated transactions, with fully customizable views so each stakeholder sees the metrics that matter to them.

Clients include leading global private equity firms and lenders such as KKR, Charlesbank, IK Partners, Bridgepoint, PAI Partners, TA Associates, Apax, and EQT. The platform is SOC 2 compliant.

Independent customer benchmarking indicates that teams using Termgrid for their debt financing processes save the equivalent of approximately one day per week - roughly a 20% capacity gain on transaction work - by eliminating manual coordination, duplicative email traffic, and ad hoc spreadsheet tracking.

The problem Termgrid solves

Private capital debt financings are inherently multi-party, multi-document, and time-sensitive. A single deal can involve dozens of lenders, multiple advisors, a sponsor deal team, and several law firms - each operating in their own systems and exchanging information primarily through email.

This creates predictable friction:

  • Deal information lives in scattered inboxes, shared drives, and ad hoc spreadsheets, making it hard to find a definitive version of the truth.
  • Lender outreach, indication tracking, and bookbuilding are managed manually, with error-prone copy-paste between term sheets and grid templates.
  • Once a deal closes, key commercial terms get buried in PDFs, and ongoing covenant and reporting obligations are tracked in disconnected workbooks.
  • Relationship intelligence - who saw which deal, who declined, who closed, who is overweight - is locked in individuals' heads and never aggregates at the firm level.

Termgrid replaces this fragmented stack with a single, structured environment for the entire debt financing lifecycle. Data is captured as a byproduct of running the deal, which means the institutional record builds itself.

The end-to-end platform

Termgrid is modular. Each capability can be adopted independently, and the modules compound in value when used together because they share a single underlying data model for deals, institutions, terms, and relationships.

3.1 Profiles Hub

Profiles Hub is the largest institution-sourced directory in private capital. Profile data - fund strategy, ticket size, EBITDA range, sector focus, and geography - is supplied and maintained directly by the institutions themselves, not scraped or licensed from third parties. This eliminates the staleness problem that plagues traditional lender databases.

Sponsors and advisors use Profiles Hub to identify, filter, and shortlist the right lenders for a given financing. Lenders use it to make their fund strategies visible to the buy-side community and to receive better-targeted deal flow. Because Profiles Hub is wired into the rest of the platform, the moment a counterparty is added to a deal, their full profile and the firm's complete prior interaction history with them is one click away.

Key elements
  • Institution-sourced data - profiles updated by the institutions themselves, with private update requests supported.
  • Granular filters - search by ticket size, EBITDA range, sector, geography, and strategy.
  • Integrated network view - see which institutions are already in your network, your engagement history, and your complete deal history with each.
  • Discovery beyond your network - surface new lenders that match a given deal's profile.

3.2 Deal Execution

Deal Execution is the transaction management module. Each financing gets its own dedicated deal site that serves as the operational hub for the entire process. The objective is to launch deals in minutes, compress timelines, reduce manual coordination, and create a clean, defensible audit trail of every step in the financing.

Core components
  • Deal Dashboard - a holistic, real-time snapshot of timeline, milestones, lender task progress, and activity across NDAs, the data room, communications portal, and term sheet.
  • NDA Management - launch deals with institution-specific NDAs, track signatures and approvals, and gain full visibility into deal readiness in one centralized view.
  • Data Room - a secure, purpose-built virtual data room for leveraged finance - designed for the document set and access patterns of a debt financing, not retrofitted from an M&A VDR.
  • Communications - broadcast messages to multiple lenders, advisors, and lawyers simultaneously instead of duplicative individual emails; every message is archived against the deal for context and compliance.
  • Term Sheets / Grid Negotiation - create standardized grid templates, distribute them to lenders, and manage incoming responses in a structured, comparable format - with redline and heatmap functionality to compare and analyze grids quickly, rather than re-keying PDFs into spreadsheets.
  • Demand Tracker - real-time visibility into the bookbuild process - orders, commitments, and pipeline by lender - for syndicated and club deals.
  • Lender Engagement - monitor deal-site activity by lender in real time: who's logged in, who's downloading what, and where attention is concentrated.
  • Integrated workflow - every action feeds the firm's structured record of deals, terms, and relationships.

Deal Execution comes in two flavors of the same connected platform - Syndicated Debt Markets, for complex multi-investor syndications and bookbuilds; and Private Debt, for bespoke direct-lending and private credit processes. Both share the same data model, so teams can move fluidly between deal types without rebuilding workflows.

3.3 Portfolio Management

Once a deal closes, Portfolio Management becomes the centralized repository for everything related to the ongoing credit. Instead of standing up a new tracking spreadsheet per facility, key data flows in from the executed deal - capital structure, key terms, allocations, fees - and is maintained as a live system of record.

Modules within Portfolio Management
  • Capital Structure - a unified view of each portfolio company's debt and equity capitalization.
  • Covenant Monitoring - track financial and information covenants against credit-agreement requirements and surface upcoming tests and breaches before they become problems.
  • Allocation & Fees - track all transaction-related fees in one place - debt and equity, across the portfolio.
  • Amortization - manage amortization schedules, mandatory and voluntary prepayments, and upcoming maturities.
  • Financials - monitor quarterly financial performance with a customizable financials tracker.
  • Hedging - track how interest-rate risk is hedged across the portfolio.
  • Lender Reporting - automate routine reporting deliverables to lenders and to internal stakeholders.

Because the same data backs both deal execution and portfolio management, refinancings, amendments, and incremental facilities start with full historical context rather than a blank page.

3.4 Precedent Search

Precedent Search is an AI-powered search layer that sits across the firm's entire history of deals, term sheets, and credit documents. It turns the institutional record into a queryable resource - by sector, by institution, by deal status, or by commercial term.

Practical use cases include benchmarking pricing, leverage levels, baskets, EBITDA definitions, MFN protections, and other negotiated terms against prior precedent; preparing for a negotiation by pulling exactly how a given lender or sponsor has addressed a specific point historically; and arming junior team members with the firm's accumulated knowledge rather than relying on senior memory.

Key elements
  • Semantic search - natural-language queries across all of the firm's deal documents, not just keyword matching.
  • Dynamically sourced data - search results are populated automatically from data captured during deal execution - no separate reporting or tagging effort.
  • Filterable by sector, institution, or status - narrow precedent to the most directly comparable transactions.

3.5 Relationship Insights

Relationship Insights converts deal-by-deal activity into firm-level intelligence about the private capital network. Because Termgrid is where the deals actually run, the relationship graph builds itself - no manual logging, no CRM hygiene exercise, no separate workflow for the team.

Typical insights include: which lenders have seen the firm's recent deal flow, hit rates by lender and by deal type, where allocations have concentrated, which counterparties are overweight or underexposed to a particular sector, and how engagement patterns have evolved over time.

Key elements
  • Automatic capture - the relationship database is built from real deal activity, not surveys or self-reported logs.
  • Real-time analytics - dashboards on lenders engaged, deals offered, declines, commitments, and allocations.
  • Strategic allocation support - use real engagement data to inform allocation decisions on syndicated and club deals.
  • Workflow-native - no change to how the team works day-to-day - insights are a byproduct of execution.

Tailored solutions by audience

Termgrid is configured around the workflows of four primary user groups. The underlying platform is shared, but the surfaces, permissions, and analytics are tailored to each.

For Private Equity sponsors

Sponsors use Termgrid to arrange new debt finance with speed and precision and to manage borrower entities, relationships, and credit obligations across every portfolio company in one place. The platform gives capital markets and deal teams a single workspace to launch deals in minutes with institution-specific NDAs, run due diligence in a tailored data room, move seamlessly through term sheets, and hand off a clean record to portfolio operations once the deal closes. Real-time insights into capital structure, covenants, and financials drive performance across the debt portfolio. Client case studies on the platform cover real-time co-investment allocation, complex term-sheet management, and global fund finance processes.

For lenders (direct lenders and private credit funds)

Lenders use Termgrid for smarter lending decisions with data-driven insights. The platform centralizes inbound deal flow from sponsors and advisors, supports precedent search across grids and final terms with redline and heatmap comparison, and lets origination teams control credit quality and governance of underwriting parameters across all deals - searchable and filterable by sponsor, fund, industry, or financial metric. Agency communications and ongoing reporting are managed in one place, with documents uploaded once and shared securely across multiple parties under a comprehensive audit trail. Relationship Insights gives heads of origination a real, data-driven view of sponsor relationships and hit rates.

For debt advisors

Debt advisors use Termgrid as technology that empowers their deal - built for your deal, powered by your data. Running an advised deal on Termgrid gives the client real-time transparency, a structured deal record, and a measurably faster execution profile. Precedent terms become a strategic playbook - advisors arrive in pitches with a ready-made call list and clear insight into what is market, structuring and winning competitive mandates on the strength of data rather than memory. Automated data capture also keeps lender-network intelligence current without manual entry.

For law firms

Law firms involved in leveraged finance use Termgrid to coordinate cleanly with the sponsor, the lender group, and other advisors. Centralized communications, a structured data room, and a clear deal timeline reduce the back-and-forth that consumes associate time and create a defensible record of who saw what and when.
