Project Origination for a Project Finance Lender
CASE STUDY
CASE STUDY
AltFin.net Origination Platform for a Private Institutional Lender
This case study explains how ScaleOn built and operates the external origination platform AltFin.net for a $250B+ book value private credit institutional lender that sources, pre-qualifies, and routes investment-ready deals to the lender.
The Problem
- No reliable and scalable way to communicate the financial offer
- No functional public presence (unsearchable, outdated site)
- Credibility issues caused by a broker-run frontend
- No structured intake: all funding inquiries routed through brokers, introducer chains, and fee-seeking intermediaries
- Majority of inquiries ineligible, incomplete, or unverifiable
- Internal time wasted screening noise instead of assessing viable projects
The Objective
- Create external origination that attracts only institution-ready projects
- Protect lender’s confidentiality and relationship-based operating model
- Eliminate introducer chains and non-eligible submissions
- Reduce internal workload by delivering decision-ready packages only
Why External Origination
External gatekeeper AltFin.net:
- Ensures controlled access without exposing lender’s brand, team and processes
- Preserves lender’s high-confidentiality, relationship-based operating model
- Runs the structured project intake that filters and deliveries warm, pre-qualified projects without broker friction
OUR SOLUTION
The Solution – What ScaleOn Built
ScaleOn built and operates AltFin.net as a controlled, market-facing origination stack that positions the lender’s financial product and removes all manual pre-screening on their side:
- Digital positioning replacing the lender’s invisible public footprint, based on their actual financial product: project finance from $100M to $5B+.
- Controlled acquisition funnel that eliminates ineligible applicants, broker chains, and verifies mandate/retainer status before an inquiry enters the pipeline.
- Collateral-focused qualification aligned with institutional private-debt standards.
- Standardised intake with an optimised form, document capture, and strict eligibility filters.
- Al-based screening output producing a one-page institutional summary for rapid lender decisioning.
- Intro-only workflow: the lender receives only pre-qualified, decision-ready packages – no noise, no manual triage.
