CapitalPad for Sponsors
CapitalPad connects independent sponsors with a network of eager accredited investors, family offices, and niche-specific funds.

Here’s why independent sponsors list with us.
Fundraising acquisition capital is tough.
Finding investors who appreciate independent sponsor deals is a marathon.
Endless cold calls, repeat discussions, and painful communication.
Not anymore.
Founded by a team with deep expertise in private equity and the fundless sponsor space, CapitalPad is the go-to platform connecting sponsors with investors.
Accredited investors, funds, and family offices get a curated list of independent sponsor opportunities ready for equity financing.
Post once and instantly allow a pool of interested investors to view your deal. Increase your chances of closing with a few clicks.
With deep experience and an improved approach, our team has successfully help close dozens of deals.
CapitalPad is for post-LOI deals.
Capital providers choose to allocate on a deal-by-deal basis based on the information you provide, including:
It’s simple.
Create your account and post your completed deal information. If the listing is approved, we then share it with a group of interested accredited investors, funds, and family offices.
Once a deal is live, investors are then presented with a teaser of your deal and a standard NDA. Once signed, investors can view the full presentation, deal room, and memo. We also work with you to create sponsor a video and interviews to minimize the amount of needed intro calls.
Investors can choose to allocate if they find it attractive and can easily contact you with any questions they may have.
CapitalPad pools all smaller investors into a single new SPV (a dedicated LLC). This means that sponsors do not need to deal with many varied investors. Instead, only one entity (the SPV) is on the cap table; one signature is needed for closing, one location for updates, and only one entity is needed for distributions and tax documents.
Larger investors are introduced directly to sponsors for direct investments.
CapitalPad makes finding independent sponsor capital providers easier, and makes investing in independent sponsor deals more streamlined.
Win-win.
No fees at all for sponsors.
Becoming an independent sponsor is a challenging path. We do not charge for raising capital.
Instead, CapitalPad is compensated by a 20% carry from smaller pooled investors (larger investors get a direct intro)
No cost to sponsors, and pooled investors only pay once an investment is profitable.
CapitalPad does not make decisions for investors, but it does curate what deals are eligible to be posted (each deal requires approval). CapitalPad presents your in-depth deal info in an easy-to-access manner, facilitates communication, and allows investors to allocate when interested quickly.
The terms for independent sponsors should be largely in line with the McGuire Woods Independent Sponsor Survey.
The better terms you offer, the easier it is to attract investors and raise. We will not accept raises with non-market terms or standard investor protections.
If you represent an entity that can write checks $750,000 or larger, please reach out and we can connect you with available deals.
