Sedge 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
The wedge is the shared drive: marks, covenants and RFQs still live in email.
Why the desk took it
Retail was never in the deck. Rare.
Traction
Founded 2021, headquartered in Brussels. 2 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 17 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 85/100. Four origination desks posting into a closed tape. Architecture says keys / title / NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Sedge Field.
Next 12 months
Closed RFQ wires do this slowly. Sedge Field does it as a record. They sell a fee the customer already pays a slower vendor for. TAM is that invoice, not a token float.
The brief
Most Collateral records decks start with a market size. This one starts with a job: a person at a licensed firm, a record they cannot currently prove, and a calendar that does not wait for a proposed US rule. The calendar is the window. The window is the scarce thing.
The bet is narrow. A named Brussels buyer already has budget for this invoice. Sedge Field wins if it is cheaper than the internal build and cleaner than the protocol pitch. It loses if a founder later wants a public book. The window is the time you have to decide which it is.
A sentence went public and came down in under an hour. Claire Santos treated the kill as an operating skill, not a PR event. Files that cannot do this do not stay listed.
From ops
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
From the pilot
US persons are outside the audience. A form that asks “are you accredited?” without verification is not an exemption.
From the screen
A dual-control drill exists on paper. Production evidence is the next artefact, not a tweet.
The window
A later reader gets the same PDF. They do not get the same access.
Counsel hours on file: enough that a later reader can tell this was not improvised.
Read it once, properly, while the number is still green. Then decide.

Closed
Closed. History only — not a place to buy.
We would rather be archive-clean than live-loud. The waitlist showed up anyway.

The bet
The wedge is the shared drive: marks, covenants and RFQs still live in email.
The wedge is the shared drive: marks, covenants and RFQs still live in email.
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. Sedge Field is priced as software against an invoice that already exists.
Brussels 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

If they raise
Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.
Certifications & adapters
38%
Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.

Architecture says keys / title / NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Sedge Field.
They have not asked us to run a sale. That ask would close the file.

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.
The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Sedge Field has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.

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
Claire Santos came in named. The team is not a handle. Sedge Field Ltd exists, founded 2021, headquartered in Brussels. Anonymity would have been an automatic decline.
A second counterparty writing into the record is the only network effect that counts. One customer is a consultancy. Two is a market.
