The protocol pitch was declined. What remains is software against an invoice. a short list people still asked.
Clove 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
They sell a faster close to administrators, not access to a crowd.
Why the desk took it
Retail was never in the deck. Rare.
Traction
Founded 2023, headquartered in Seoul. 2 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 22 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 92/100. Four origination desks posting into a closed tape. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Next 12 months
Closed RFQ wires do this slowly. Clove Field does it as a record. Annual software against an ops cost the board can see. Switching cost is the record, not the brand.
The brief
Before the waitlist, before the window, there was a refusal. Clove Field would not let a public sale sit on this page. That is why a company in Collateral records is listed here at all — and why the people who wanted a coin left, and the people who wanted the product stayed.
Read this as an operating company, not a round. Counsel has a posture: Seoul · 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.
A dual-control drill sits on paper. Keys, title, or NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Clove Field. The architecture says so. We have not watched the drill live. That is the next ask, not a slogan.
From the pilot
A dual-control drill exists on paper. Production evidence is the next artefact, not a tweet.
From the founder
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
From ops
We will not describe this as Reg CA-compliant, MiCA-stickered, or FCA-authorised. Issuers retain their own counsel in every relevant jurisdiction.
The window
A later reader gets the same PDF. They do not get the same access.
Restricted markets stay dark. Named markets are live. That discipline is the scarce thing.
If you are a founder who wants a pack like this: apply. If you are a buyer: call them — not us.
Window
Closed
Closed. History only — not a place to buy.
The decline pile is a compliment. It means the screen still means something.

The bet
They sell a faster close to administrators, not access to a crowd.
They sell a faster close to administrators, not access to a crowd.
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.
Seoul 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.

The wedge
Next twelve months
Ten live facilities or this is still a lab.
Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Growth money would extend the record to a second geography, still permissioned.
Traction
Founded 2023, headquartered in Seoul. 2 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 22 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 92/100. Four origination desks posting into a closed tape. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Readiness
Six things a serious buyer asks. 100 is “ready to take to counsel and a customer.”
Risks
The one that actually kills it
Pilots that cannot be named, even redacted, are theatre. One paying seat that an auditor has seen is worth more than a waitlist of a short list.
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.
If the first named buyer is also the only buyer, Clove Field is a services shop with a ledger. Ask for the second.

Where they can operate
Named markets are where a sentence is allowed. Restricted is where it is not. This is not a worldwide offering.

Who can decide
Ines Hale (Chief executive) will take a 30-minute call and decide budget. If the only person who can accept “we are not opening a sale” is a silent co-founder in another time zone, this company would not be on the board.
A second counterparty writing into the record is the only network effect that counts. One customer is a consultancy. Two is a market.
