About Arillum
Private credit, sourced beyond existing relationships.
Lower middle-market private credit is still sourced through relationships. Arillum puts lenders’ criteria where borrowers can search them, so borrowers find more relevant lenders, and lenders see more deals that fit their criteria.
Why Arillum.
- The problem
- Borrowers tend to call the lenders they already know, and lenders see only the deals that reach their network. As a result, well-matched borrowers and lenders often never connect.
- Lenders define their credit box
- Each lender sets out what it funds, once: hold size, borrower profile, structure and pricing, and process.
- Borrowers choose
- Borrowers search those criteria and decide which lenders to approach. Every conversation starts with the borrower, anonymously.
- Confidential throughout
- The company stays unnamed until an NDA for that deal and that lender is fully executed.

Firm review.
Every person on Arillum belongs to a firm, either a borrower or a lender. Firms, not just people, are what Arillum approves.
- Reviewed by hand
- We check each firm’s details and each person’s title and LinkedIn profile. Members have no access to listings or deals until their firm is approved.
- Clear approval decisions
- Every firm hears the outcome by email. If a firm isn’t approved, we tell it why, by email and on its status page.
- Reviewed again on change
- Changing an approved firm’s name or website sends it back for review.
- Ongoing review
- Approval can be suspended. A suspended firm loses access, and teasers it sent disappear from lenders’ view.
