Tentt

Fully managed AI outbound infrastructure for commercial lenders.

Tentt identifies companies approaching refinancing events, expansion capital needs, and acquisition financing requirements – and starts conversations before they go to market. White-labelled. Fully managed.

The first 90 days

What the first 90 days looks like

From signed agreement to a compounding borrower pipeline – here's exactly what happens.

Week 1–2 – Foundation

Lending criteria, borrower ICP, and infrastructure setup

We align on your credit box, deal size range, sector and geographic focus, then build the borrower universe around it. Sending infrastructure goes up in parallel – authenticated inboxes, warm-up protocols, deliverability controls.

Week 3–4 – Launch

Borrower universe built, enriched, and scored. First wave launched.

Borrower targets are enriched with verified CFO and owner contacts, existing debt structure, and credit-box qualifiers. Highest-fit borrowers get the first wave of contextual outreach tied to a capital-event signal.

Week 4 – First result

First qualified borrower meeting (average)

Within four weeks of launch, most engagements see their first pre-qualified borrower conversation land on an originator's calendar – with full context on who, why, and what capital event triggered outreach.

Day 30–60 – Optimisation

Campaigns optimised on response data. Second and third waves running.

Response patterns, open rates, and engagement data feed back into targeting logic and messaging. The system improves – month two outperforms month one, with sharper signal weighting and tighter credit-box fit.

Day 90 – Compounding

Full borrower pipeline operational. Compounding begins.

By day 90 your borrower acquisition engine is running at full capacity – a self-improving system producing a predictable, growing flow of qualified borrower conversations into your originators' calendars.

Outcome

A borrower pipeline that compounds over time

Every borrower engagement, response, and closed facility feeds back into the system. The longer it runs, the better it performs.

Who we serve

Built across the commercial lending spectrum.

Commercial banks

C&I lending teams at national, regional, and community banks. We surface middle-market borrowers approaching maturities, expansions, and acquisitions – timed to your credit box and treasury cross-sell strategy.

Private credit & direct lenders

Unitranche, senior secured, and mezzanine providers. We map sponsor-backed and non-sponsor borrowers approaching capital events – before the deal goes to broad syndication.

Asset-based lenders

ABL teams underwriting against receivables, inventory, and equipment. We identify working-capital-intensive borrowers with covenant pressure, growth-driven facility needs, or coming off a less-flexible structure.

Specialty & SBA lenders

Equipment finance, SBA 7(a) and 504, factoring, and vertical-specialty lenders. We surface companies whose capital need fits your specific structure – sector, ticket size, collateral, and timing.

Playbooks

Three playbooks. Each built for a specific lending motion.

Every engagement runs one or more of these – configured to your credit box, sector focus, and lending strategy.

Playbook 01 – Full TAM

Full credit-box universe

High-volume, systematic outreach against your complete addressable borrower market. We build the full universe of companies fitting your credit box – thousands of targets – enrich every record with verified CFO/owner contacts and existing debt structure, and run multi-channel sequenced outreach across the universe. Designed for maximum borrower market coverage and pipeline density.

Playbook 02 – Niche Directory

Curated specialty list

Concentrated outreach within a tightly defined niche – specific borrower profile, vertical, or geography. We hand-build a curated directory (hundreds, not thousands) of borrowers fitting your specialty – SBA-eligible healthcare practices, equipment-finance manufacturers in the Southeast, owner-operated industrial distributors. Deep niche intelligence drives sharper fit and higher conversion.

Playbook 03 – Signal

Capital-event activated outreach

Outreach triggered by a specific capital event – loan maturity approaching, covenant pressure, leadership change, sponsor acquisition, growth or expansion announcement. We monitor lender-relevant signals in real time and launch contextual outreach within days of the trigger – before the borrower starts shopping term sheets.

FAQ

Common questions

If something isn't answered here, book a call. We'll give you a straight answer in the first ten minutes.

Cold email is one delivery channel inside the system. The real work is signal intelligence – identifying which borrowers have an active capital need before they're shopping term sheets. Outreach is targeted, contextual, and written around a specific capital event. It doesn't read like mass prospecting because it isn't.
Most engagements produce a first qualified borrower meeting within 4 weeks of system launch. Volume builds over 60-90 days as sequences mature and signal coverage expands. We report transparently on leading indicators – open rates, replies, qualified meetings – from week one.
A new BDO gives you one person's manual throughput, six months of ramp, and a relationship that walks out the door if they leave. Tentt gives you infrastructure – signal monitoring, automated enrichment, multi-channel outreach, deliverability management, and pre-qualification. The system runs continuously, compounds with data, and the targeting + messaging IP stays with you.
Yes. We work across the commercial lending spectrum – commercial banks (C&I, ABL, leveraged), private credit and direct lenders, asset-based lenders, equipment finance, SBA 7(a) and 504, factoring, and vertical-specialty lenders. The signal engine and outreach infrastructure are the same; the credit-box parameters and trigger weights are configured per engagement.
Completely. Every touchpoint – emails, LinkedIn messages, follow-ups, calendar invites – goes out under your firm's brand, within your messaging standards, and compliant with your communications requirements. Borrowers never see Tentt; the relationship is yours from the first message.
