Expand the candidate universe
Find credible lenders and investors beyond the names already familiar to the team.
For capital advisers
Broaden the shortlist without slowing the mandate.
Use RAFT as the research layer behind the process. Find credible investors or lenders beyond the usual network, prioritise the right people and preserve adviser time for relationships, judgement and execution.
What changes
Give every mandate a broader, more defensible shortlist.
RAFT handles the first research decision so experienced advisers can spend more time challenging the fit, managing relationships and moving the process forward.
Make the fit defensible
See the relevant criteria, recent activity and reasons supporting each firm’s inclusion.
Protect adviser time
Move senior attention from list assembly to judgement, client advice and execution.
The role RAFT plays
Research depth without diluting the adviser’s judgement.
RAFT will not tell you who will invest. It will show you who is worth the call and why.
The workflow
From mandate brief to an outreach-ready capital map.
A search can cover debt, equity, joint ventures, forward funding and structured capital without flattening them into one generic list.
Frame the requirement
Define the geography, sector, structure, risk, amount and important exclusions.
Search beyond the network
Build the wider candidate universe before familiar names shape the answer.
Challenge the shortlist
Review requirement fit, evidence confidence, current activity and open questions.
Plan the outreach
Use the prioritised organisations and relevant professionals in the live process.
Who it is for
Built for advisers running live capital processes.
Useful when coverage quality matters, but the mandate does not justify days of first-pass research.
