Lenders, funds, and family offices sit on the other side of every acceleration we build for sponsors. The same discipline applies: agents propose and cite, a fixed model does the arithmetic, and every number arrives with its source attached. Here is what that looks like from the capital side, built around how your book actually works.
How to read the cards. Light means roughly 2–4 weeks and from $7,500. Standard means 4–8 weeks and from $15,000. Prices are honest starting points, not quotes; a $2,500 working session scopes the real number and applies toward the build. Live means the underlying system is running on this site today and you can try it yourself.
ProblemSponsor packages arrive faster than your team can read them, and every pass still costs an analyst-hour to reach.
We buildEvery OM and model extracted into your screening format, scored against your credit box or mandate, with a drafted decline or advance note.
The mathScreen all of it without more staff; spend senior hours only on deals that clear the box.
ProblemTrusting a sponsor's returns means rebuilding their model, so most of the time nobody fully does.
We buildTheir model read into a fixed engine, assumptions checked against sourced market evidence, deviations flagged with the citation.
The mathVerification in hours instead of a rebuild in days, and a written record of exactly what was checked.
ProblemEvery deal arrives in its own format, so comparing across the book means re-keying into yet another spreadsheet.
We buildOne structure every deal maps into on arrival, so the portfolio compares itself: same metrics, same stress tests, same page.
The mathRe-keying hours disappear, and concentration or drift shows up in the data instead of in hindsight.
ProblemMemo assembly eats the week before committee, and the first question is always "where did that number come from?"
We buildMemos assembled from the standardized deal record, every figure linked to its source, in your house format.
The mathDays per memo recovered, and fewer deals bounced back for another cycle of questions.
ProblemEvery counter — leverage, pricing, pref, covenants — means re-running the deal by hand while the other side waits.
We buildLive side-by-side structures on a fixed calculation engine: your economics and theirs, under each set of terms.
The mathNegotiate with the arithmetic in the room. One mispriced term costs more than the build.
ProblemDiligence means reading a data room: leases, reports, agreements, guarantees — under deadline, by expensive people.
We buildThe data room extracted and cross-checked: obligations surfaced, inconsistencies flagged, every finding cited to the page.
The mathThe findings that matter surface in hours, and counsel reviews flagged pages instead of hunting for them.
ProblemQuarterly sponsor reports pile up unread; covenant drift and missed milestones surface when they're already problems.
We buildSponsor reporting parsed on arrival, tested against covenants and business plans, with exceptions flagged to a human.
The mathOne early flag on one credit typically covers years of the system. Quiet files get read too.
ProblemRates, rents, and costs move; the book's marks don't, until someone re-runs models nobody has time to re-run.
We buildPortfolio models that re-run on market triggers, with alerts when a position's story materially changes.
The mathHear about the flip the day it happens. Repricing risk early is the cheapest hedge there is.
ProblemYour own investors want quarterly letters, capital account statements, and answers — and producing them eats principal time.
We buildReporting assembled from the standardized book, drafted in your voice, with the numbers traceable underneath.
The mathWeeks per year of principal time back, and investors who feel reported-to return for the next fund.
ProblemMandates increasingly require measured emissions and ESG data from the portfolio, and sponsors can't produce it.
We buildMeasured tracking and framework-aligned disclosure across positions, configured on an established platform we operate. The full practice: Now City Circularity.
The mathMandate compliance as a byproduct of operations instead of an annual scramble across every sponsor.
ProblemYour bottleneck is specific to how your book runs, and no menu catches it.
We buildThese are patterns, not products. The first conversation is about where your team's time actually goes; the build follows from that.
The mathA $2,500 working session that scopes it — credited toward the build if we do one.
When a sponsor underwrites in the Upside Explorer, you can be invited into the same live model: same assumptions, same sources, same arithmetic. Verification stops being an argument about whose spreadsheet is right. The sponsor-side catalog is at nowcity.ai/accelerate.
