Cedar Mark

Heat 38. 8 asks this week. 0% of any raise comes here.

Heat 38. Window 14d. If you are going to read one ISDA ops company, this is the one.

Cedar Mark — 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.

Screened, not yet in sprint. Treat every number as provisional. Calendar access is not automatic.

Most ISDA ops applications this quarter were declined. You are looking at one that was not.

Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

Cedar Mark wants to be the record everyone already trusts, without becoming the venue.

Why the desk took it

Early — still a question.

A redacted facility list landed in week one.

Traction

One named pilot (redacted).

Founded 2026, headquartered in Manchester. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 1 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 62/100. A coverholder or carrier running one binder on this record. A redacted engagement letter landed in week one. That is why the desk took the meeting.

Next 12 months

One administrator consuming marks daily.

eFront and Allvue are funds’ books. This is the tape between funds. Bps on a job that already has a budget line. A public coin would not make the invoice larger.

The brief

How a serious reader should hold this.

You can wait for a sticker. The named customer did not. They are writing into this record while the rest of the market argues about a comment period.

What you can verify today is smaller than the slide. What you cannot verify is named as a question, not a promise. That is the difference between this company and a pad listing — and why the waitlist is not a coin queue.

On a Tuesday in Manchester, an exception posts back into the customer’s existing case system. Nobody opens a side spreadsheet. That is the product: the night someone in ops does not stay late.

From the founder

Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.

From the pilot

We will not describe this as Reg CA-compliant, MiCA-stickered, or FCA-authorised. Issuers retain their own counsel in every relevant jurisdiction.

From the screen

This communication is not an offer. Participation mechanics do not exist on this pad. If a later reader treats the public stack as the offer, the stack was already wrong.

The window

Miss this and you read the archive.

Miss 14 days and you are explaining to your IC why you read it after it closed.

Restricted markets stay dark. Named markets are live. That discipline is the scarce thing.

We do not allocate. We do not take a cut. We will not hold the window open for you.

Cedar Mark

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

The bet

Why this company exists.

Cedar Mark 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

A generalist vendor can copy the slide in a quarter. They cannot copy the named record, the scheme map, or the auditor conversation. That is the year they would have to buy.

Named: Manchester. Off-limits: EU retail, United States. A US person hearing an offering communication is a US problem even if the company sits in Manchester. Blocking an IP and taking a US Telegram admin is not a block.

How it works

01A loan or covenant event is written once
02Permissioned counterparties see what they are allowed to see
03Marks and RFQs stay inside named desks
04No public order book, no retail
05Default and amendment events are first-class, not a PDF in a side channel
06Kill of a public sentence is an hour, not a committee.

Operating week

What “in market” actually looks like.

SunOwnersWho can decide messaging and budget on a recorded line. If the answer is nobody, stop.
ThuCustomerNamed pilot (redacted) sees the same record the auditor saw.
SatDarkNo creators. No threads. Restricted geos stay dark.
MonClaimsEvery public sentence checked against the register. Anything extra is unpublished.

The wedge

Why this one, not the other one.

They sell: Administrator co-source
Who pays: A coverholder or carrier running one binder on this record.
Unit economics: Bps on a job that already has a budget line. A public coin would not make the invoice larger.
Moat on file: Administrator of record has signed a dual-control letter.
Switching cost: Scheme maps, ISO, LMA language, registry adapters — eighteen months of unglamorous work.
Vs the comps: eFront and Allvue are funds’ books. This is the tape between funds.
Why we listed it: A redacted facility list landed in week one.

Next twelve months

What has to be true.

One administrator consuming marks daily.

A redacted engagement letter landed in week one. That is why the desk took the meeting.

A round, if any, sits with their providers. This pad does not take the order.

Traction

What you can verify today.

Architecture paper — no production customer on the public file
No token contract listed as a public sale
Pilot letters on file, identities redacted
Manchester is the operating centre
The waitlist, if any, is a product list — not a book
RCA Pad does not take a cut of proceeds

Risks

What can kill it.

The one that actually kills it

Counsel is a slide

Unnamed counsel is how companies die in diligence. Not offering — locked has to be a memo you can file, not a slogan on the hero.

Marketplace slip

The moment this looks like a public book, it is a venue. This pad will not list that.

Data rights

Who owns the tape when a fund leaves? If that is unsigned, the enterprise value is a conversation.

Credit cycle

A default cluster will test whether the product is a record or a reputation.

Retail

Retail is prohibited. Any ‘access token’ story is a different company.

Data rights on exit

If a fund leaves and the tape stays, who owns the history? Unsigned, the enterprise value is a conversation.

Path silence

If counsel will not name a path and not-offering is not locked, heated waitlist copy is an accidental offering.

Ask these next

01Which incumbent can copy this in a quarter, and what would they have to migrate?
02Who can unpublish a public sentence in 24 hours, by name?
03Who is the first named paying customer — not a letter of intent?
04What happens if a founder later wants a public token?
05Which geography is actually locked, and which is a hope?
06What does renewal look like if no round ever happens?

Structure

How money would actually move.

Too early to talk about a round on this pad. Screen first. A path has to be named by counsel before anyone should wire.

Where they can operate

Named vs off-limits.

Named markets are where a sentence is allowed. Restricted is where it is not. This is not a worldwide offering.

Who can decide

Sasha Novak came in named. The team is not a handle. Cedar Mark Ltd exists, founded 2026, headquartered in Manchester. Anonymity would have been an automatic decline.

Year two is a second named market and the remaining certifications — still permissioned. It is not a public book. A public book would be a different company.
