Pitching ESOP Mezzanine Funds to Allocators

Quick Summary

Managers of market-rate ESOP mezzanine debt funds should open allocator meetings with what the capital does: subordinated loans with warrants, not equity. Ownership Capital Lab and Transform Finance supply ready answers on 10 to 15% net IRR targets, a 10 to 20% seller note as first loss, 10-year closed-end lockups, private credit stress, AI exposure, and benchmarking against mezzanine private credit.
