AlphaFlow reports that it is currently working with lenders across 41 different states deploying bridge loans. In January 2021, AlphaFlow closed on a $100 million securitization with additional products in the works that are predicted to generate 2 to 3 times the lending volume. The company expects to be facilitating $110 in debt securities each month by Q3 this year. AlphaFlow says it has a deep pipeline of investors including investment banks asset managers, sovereign wealth funds and more. If you are an accredited investor, you may participate in a diversified pool of loans that may generate from 7.5% to 9% in yield.
AlphaFlow competes with hedge funds that buy loans from local lenders. The platform’s target market is starting with the estimated $75 billion fix and flip sector and then the rest of the $600 billion financing sector that is completed outside the traditional banking system.

“…our focus is on growing the market. Our base case model has us 2-3x’ing revenue each year, but we of course aim to beat that.”
