IVOY
Screened
SCREENEDCredit covenantsIvory Line
Most of Credit covenants died in the screen. Ivory Line did not.
Lisbon is not a backdrop. It is the city where the customer can be called on a recorded line.
Ivory Line — 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.
The named customer already picked. The waitlist is everyone who was late to that fact.
Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

Why the desk took it
Early — still a question.
Retail was never in the deck. Rare.
Traction
No paying pilot on the public file.
Founded 2026, headquartered in Lisbon. No named paying pilot on the file yet — that is the first question. 1 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 64/100. A national registry counterpart, not a scrape. No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
Next 12 months
Securities memo on the tape itself — is the record a security? Write it down.
eFront and Allvue are funds’ books. This is the tape between funds. Annual software against an ops cost the board can see. Switching cost is the record, not the brand.
The brief
How a serious reader should hold this.
In Lisbon, the person who signs the monthly pack already has a vendor. Ivory Line 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.
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 Lisbon, 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 ops
The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian. Ivory Line does not attest to its own facts.
From counsel
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.
The window
Miss this and you read the archive.
Waiting for a proposed US rule is how you miss a Lisbon buyer who already has budget.
a short list people did not join a waitlist for a ticker. They joined for a job.
Open the diligence or watch it close. There is not a third option that still counts as early.

The auditor has seen the dual-record. Switching now is a new conversation. That is the lock.

The bet
Why this company exists.
Ivory Line wants to be the record everyone already trusts, without becoming the venue.
Ivory Line 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. Ivory Line is priced as software against an invoice that already exists.
Named: Lisbon, United Kingdom. Off-limits: Public residual claims, United States. A US person hearing an offering communication is a US problem even if the company sits in Lisbon. 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
- 06Retail and unnamed geographies are structurally off the form, not only in the footer.

If they raise
Where the money would actually go.
Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.
Certifications & adapters
29%
Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.
Control environment
26%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Counsel & perimeter
22%
Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.
Named operators
23%
The remaining certifications and the second named market.
Operating week
What “in market” actually looks like.
- SunOwnersWho can decide messaging and budget on a recorded line. If the answer is nobody, stop.
- SatDarkNo creators. No threads. Restricted geos stay dark.
- ThuCustomerNamed pilot (redacted) sees the same record the auditor saw.
- MonClaimsEvery public sentence checked against the register. Anything extra is unpublished.
The wedge
Why this one, not the other one.
- They sell
- Bps on facilities on the tape
- Who pays
- A national registry counterpart, not a scrape.
- Unit economics
- Annual software against an ops cost the board can see. Switching cost is the record, not the brand.
- Moat on file
- Administrator of record has signed a dual-control letter.
- Switching cost
- Network effects only if a second named counterparty writes. One customer is a service firm.
- Vs the comps
- eFront and Allvue are funds’ books. This is the tape between funds.
- Why we listed it
- Retail was never in the deck. Rare.
Next twelve months
What has to be true.
Securities memo on the tape itself — is the record a security? Write it down.
No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
Capital would fund the adapter work and a named counsel memo, not a public sale.
Traction
What you can verify today.
Founded 2026, headquartered in Lisbon. No named paying pilot on the file yet — that is the first question. 1 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 64/100. A national registry counterpart, not a scrape. No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
- Architecture paper — no production customer on the public file
- No token contract listed as a public sale
- Pilot letters on file, identities redacted
- Lisbon 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
A second geography without a lock
Extending the record into a market that is still restricted is how a clean Lisbon story becomes a fact pattern. The restricted list exists for a reason: Public residual claims, United States.
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.
Facts vs theatre
A proof of a fake book is still a fake book. Ivory Line has to attach to the real one, in Lisbon.
Ask these next
- 01If RCA Pad disappeared tomorrow, could the customer still run the job?
- 02What happens if a founder later wants a public token?
- 03Which incumbent can copy this in a quarter, and what would they have to migrate?
- 04Is the waitlist demand for a product, or a queue for a coin?
- 05Where do keys, title, or NAV liability sit — and is that person licensed?
- 06Has counsel written the perimeter in a memo you can file?

Who can decide
Luca Sato (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.
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.
