Forward raises $1.5M from Y Combinator and Airtree to connect private credit funds with debt advisors

Forward, a startup building connections between private credit funds and debt advisors, has raised $1.5 million from Y Combinator and Airtree Ventures. The company frames the problem as inefficiency in debt capital markets: advisors cannot know every lender, funds cannot review every deal, and lender appetite shifts over time, so good deals get stuck in the wrong inboxes. The announcement drew congratulatory replies from Airwallex and others. The post indicates the product is live in the US market. Funding details beyond the amount and lead investors were not disclosed.
