What Tacora Capital does

Tacora Capital Management, LP is a privately held asset-based private credit firm founded in 2021 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, by Keri Findley, a former subprime mortgage trader during the Great Financial Crisis. The firm provides customizable "creative capital" solutions — including senior secured loans, equity, and forward-flow purchases of future cash flows — to early and mid-stage companies operating in specialty finance, insurance, mortgage servicing, peer-to-peer lending, buy-now-pay-later, retirement solutions, payments infrastructure, real estate technology, and supply chain and logistics.

The firm's core product is a single unified asset-based private credit offering delivered through direct relationship management with fintech founders and specialty finance operators. Disclosed deal structures include a forward-flow agreement with Point Digital to purchase up to $300 million in borrowers' future home equity and a $10 million equity investment plus $4 million secured loan into Range Impact and its Range Cumberland subsidiary for coal-mine redevelopment. Tacora Capital does not rely on a proprietary technology platform; its differentiation rests on founder expertise, bespoke structuring, and direct deal sourcing rather than on software infrastructure.

Tacora generates revenue primarily through interest income, equity returns, and secured loan economics on its portfolio, and has recently begun accepting outside capital into a newly launched fund vehicle — marking a transition from founder-balance-sheet investing to third-party asset management. The firm does not publicly disclose fund size, fees, or performance, and operates with a 1-10 person team distributed across direct sales and fund-raise activities. Marketing is executed almost entirely through earned media and podcast appearances by the founder, including coverage in Bloomberg and CNBC.

Direct peers

• Pretium Partners: Pretium is one of the largest specialty finance managers focused on U.S. single-family residential assets, including forward purchase of home equity. Tacora's Point Digital HEI program mirrors Pretium's core thesis, making it the most directly comparable peer in asset-based fintech credit.
• Angel Oak Capital Advisors: Angel Oak is a specialty credit manager active across mortgage servicing rights, non-QM lending, and other asset-based opportunities. Like Tacora, it focuses on bespoke capital solutions for non-bank financial sectors that traditional banks underserve.
• Marathon Asset Management: Marathon is a global credit manager with dedicated asset-based finance, mortgage, and securitized products strategies. It is comparable to Tacora in offering customized structured credit to specialty finance and fintech counterparties.
• Whitehorse Capital: Whitehorse is a middle-market private credit manager known for structured and asset-based lending to specialty finance and financial services companies. Its product mix and target borrowers closely resemble Tacora's stated focus areas.

Emerging players

• Figure Technologies: Figure operates a blockchain-native HELOC and home equity investment platform and has historically raised structured, non-bank capital to fund originations. Tacora's Point Digital HEI relationship runs through this same ecosystem, and Figure represents an emerging fintech-native credit peer.

Broad incumbents

• HPS Investment Partners: HPS is a large incumbent private credit manager with multi-strategy capabilities including specialty finance and asset-based lending. It competes with Tacora at the larger end of the fintech credit opportunity set and is a likely capital allocator benchmark.
• Ares Management Credit Group: Ares runs one of the largest direct lending and asset-based finance franchises globally. It represents the scaled-incumbent benchmark against which Tacora's specialty focus competes for fintech borrowers seeking flexible capital.
• Sixth Street Partners: Sixth Street is a diversified investment firm with a sizable private credit franchise that frequently structures bespoke solutions for fintech and specialty finance companies. It is comparable to Tacora as a broader, well-capitalized source of creative capital.
• KKR Credit: KKR's global credit business includes direct lending and asset-based finance strategies that overlap with Tacora's specialty finance focus. It anchors the incumbent competitive set Tacora must differentiate against.
• Prudential Private Capital: Prudential's Private Capital group provides structured debt and asset-based financing to specialty finance and fintech counterparties. It is a broad incumbent comparable to Tacora's bespoke capital offering, particularly in the insurance and mortgage servicing adjacencies.
