YARR

In diligence

IN MOTIONPrivate credit tape

Yarrow Forge

If you read one Private credit tape company this quarter, make it this one.

Pilots are named and redacted. The waitlist is not. a short list people already asked.

Yarrow Forge — 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.

In a 14-day diligence sprint (day 11). This is when the story, the customers and the legal path get written down — or the file stops.

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.

The wedge

Desk seat

The wedge is the shared drive: marks, covenants and RFQs still live in email.

Why the desk took it

A real job, not a ticker.

A redacted facility list landed in week one.

Traction

2 named pilots (redacted).

Founded 2025, headquartered in Tokyo. 2 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 6 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 79/100. Sprint day 11 of 14. A qualified custodian reconciling against this book. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.

Next 12 months

Ten live facilities or this is still a lab.

A DeFi lending pool is the opposite company. They win if they are cheaper than the internal build, not cheaper than a protocol.

The brief

How a serious reader should hold this.

Tokyo is not a backdrop. It is the jurisdiction where a named customer can be sued, called, and asked a question on a recorded line. Yarrow Forge chose it for that reason. Counterparties who still think this is a ‘global’ story are already late.

Read this as an operating company, not a round. Counsel has a posture: Not offering — locked. 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. Yarrow Forge did not argue. Adult companies do not costume a US offering.

From ops

US persons are outside the audience. A form that asks “are you accredited?” without verification is not an exemption.

From the founder

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.

From counsel

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

The window

Miss this and you read the archive.

Founders who want a pack this tight apply. Readers who wait get a closed stamp.

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.

The bet

Why this company exists.

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

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.

The live path is Not offering — locked. Proposed Regulation Crypto Assets is not treated as a calendar slot. Build as if it never opens.

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.

MonClaimsEvery public sentence checked against the register. Anything extra is unpublished.
ThuCustomerNamed pilot (redacted) sees the same record the auditor saw.
SunOwnersWho can decide messaging and budget on a recorded line. If the answer is nobody, stop.
WedCounselPerimeter diffs. If the site drifted from the memo, the site moves — not the memo.

The wedge

Why this one, not the other one.

They sell: Desk seat
Who pays: A qualified custodian reconciling against this book.
Unit economics: They win if they are cheaper than the internal build, not cheaper than a protocol.
Moat on file: Four origination desks already post into a closed tape.
Switching cost: Once the record is the record, the incumbent copy has to migrate history. That is the year.
Vs the comps: A DeFi lending pool is the opposite company.
Why we listed it: A redacted facility list landed in week one.

Next twelve months

What has to be true.

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.

Capital would fund the adapter work and a named counsel memo, not a public sale.

Traction

What you can verify today.

No token contract listed as a public sale

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.

Incumbent feature

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

Ask these next

01Is the waitlist demand for a product, or a queue for a coin?
02Has counsel written the perimeter in a memo you can file?
03Who is the first named paying customer — not a letter of intent?
04What does renewal look like if no round ever happens?
05Which geography is actually locked, and which is a hope?
06Who can unpublish a public sentence in 24 hours, by name?

Structure

How money would actually move.

Sprint is diligence, not a raise. A pack at the end is a file the company can take to its own lawyers and investors. RCA Pad does not complete funding.

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

Siobhán Ribeiro (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.
