Cedar Field — A system of record for private-credit funds and desks: tapes, RFQs, or covenants that update when a borrower files. The buyers already have a book. This is plumbing, not a venue that matches strangers.
Closed on this board. Any capital event was completed with the issuer’s own providers. RCA Pad took 0%.
Closed. The live conversation is over. The pack remains as archive.
Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

The wedge
Cedar Field wants to be the record everyone already trusts, without becoming the venue.
Why the desk took it
They asked us to kill ‘marketplace’ in every sentence. We did.
Traction
Founded 2023, headquartered in Leeds. 3 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 9 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 76/100. A qualified custodian reconciling against this book. No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
Next 12 months
A DeFi lending pool is the opposite company. Per-event pricing so a pilot can start without a transformation programme.
The brief
In Leeds, the person who signs the monthly pack already has a vendor. Cedar Field is not asking them to believe in a token. It is asking them to move one job — the one that currently lives in a spreadsheet, a fax, or a person who is about to retire — onto a record that can be shown to counsel. The queue to read that record is already not empty.
Read this as an operating company, not a round. Counsel has a posture: Leeds · closed private round. Restricted markets stay dark. RCA Pad takes 0% if they ever raise. That combination is why inbound did not need a ticker.
US traffic was taken off the public surfaces in the first working session. Cedar Field did not argue. Adult companies do not costume a US offering.
From ops
A dual-control drill exists on paper. Production evidence is the next artefact, not a tweet.
From the pilot
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
From the screen
US persons are outside the audience. A form that asks “are you accredited?” without verification is not an exemption.
The window
Miss 0 days and you are explaining to your IC why you read it after it closed.
Certification is in motion. After it lands, the price of the seat is not the question — access is.
The scarce thing is not the company. It is the next 0 days of a live conversation.
Window
Closed
Closed. History only — not a place to buy.
Renewal is the round. If nobody renews, there is no company. A token would not fix that.

A L2 wrapper is cheaper. It is also a different perimeter — and declined here.

The bet
Cedar Field wants to be the record everyone already trusts, without becoming the venue.
Cedar Field wants to be the record everyone already trusts, without becoming the venue.
Allocators want daily marks and covenant visibility. Banks want to originate without building a chain team. The first honest tape that does not pretend to be an exchange will be paid for as software.
Private credit AUM is measured in trillions. The software take-rate is small. The switching cost, once a tape is the record, is not.
Versus the field
L2 wrappers are cheaper. They are also a different perimeter — and declined here. Cedar Field is priced as software against an invoice that already exists.
Leeds being the city does not make local retail a default audience. Communications capable of inducing investment activity still have a promotions problem.
How it works
In the same conversation as
If they raise
Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.
Counsel & perimeter
34%
Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.
Certifications & adapters
20%
Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.
Control environment
19%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Second market
27%
Adapter work against the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.

Next twelve months
One administrator consuming marks daily.
No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
They have not asked us to run a sale. That ask would close the file.
Traction
Founded 2023, headquartered in Leeds. 3 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 9 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 76/100. A qualified custodian reconciling against this book. No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
Readiness
Six things a serious buyer asks. 100 is “ready to take to counsel and a customer.”
Risks
The one that actually kills it
Seat plus event. If they attach a token as the unit of account, this company is a different company — and not one we will operate a campaign for.
The moment this looks like a public book, it is a venue. This pad will not list that.
Who owns the tape when a fund leaves? If that is unsigned, the enterprise value is a conversation.
A default cluster will test whether the product is a record or a reputation.
Retail is prohibited. Any ‘access token’ story is a different company.
If a fund leaves and the tape stays, who owns the history? Unsigned, the enterprise value is a conversation.
The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Cedar Field has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.

Who can decide
The technical founder is on the record as Finance. Contractors in undisclosed jurisdictions are written down as a fact, not hidden. Facts can be managed. Hiding them is how companies die in diligence.
If the first customer renews, the adapter work pays for itself. If they do not, Cedar Field is a services firm with a slide. The twelve-month test is renewal, not waitlist.
