Forward

Forward is an origination platform for private credit funds that turns raw borrower materials into structured, lender ready investment opportunities. A borrower or sponsor submits documents, financials and a facility request once, in any of more than 24 file formats, and the system parses them into a standardized deal package with a verified financial snapshot, extracted metrics and flagged risks. It then screens the opportunity against the fund's mandate and recommends a structure, including pricing and covenant suggestions. It is built for investment teams at private credit funds that receive deal flow from many sources and spend analyst time rebuilding the same models. Specialized agents cover different stages: structuring agents propose terms, execution agents track a deal through closing, negotiation agents support term discussions, and management agents monitor covenant compliance and repayment risk after funding, intercepting problems early. Deal flow from every source is centralized in one pipeline. Pricing is not published. There is no pricing page and the company sells through direct conversations with funds, so terms are quoted per firm. Forward is a Y Combinator company.
