Flexible Capital - Private Credit Interview

Hi All,

Anyone please expand on the some of the considerations and skills required to invest more junior in the capital stack? In particular, what are the main differences coming from a more vanilla mid-market sponsor-backed direct lending background and moving towards - hybrid capital (pref equity, subordinated debt, sponsorless)?

Further, what are the main considerations / what should one be aware of when providing financing i) to fast-growing tech businesses / FinTech businesses (i.e. Saas) which could be at an inflexion point (negative EBITDA to positive)

Thanks!
