Brooklyn Bridge Capital

What Brooklyn Bridge Capital does

Brooklyn Bridge Capital LLC is a privately held, founder-led commercial real estate lender founded in 2014 by Shaya Krausz and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. The firm provides bridge loans, hard money loans, foreclosure bailouts, construction financing, refinancing, bank workouts and turnaround services, and debt acquisition (purchase of defaulted loans and non-performing notes) to commercial property owners, brokers, and banks/lending institutions in the New York and New Jersey metropolitan area. Loan sizes range from approximately $265,000 (a Bronx land loan) to $30,000,000 (a Manhattan partnership buyout), with the stated ability to close equity solutions within days.

The business operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees and no institutional investors or parent company. Its go-to-market is direct sales: property owners apply through the company website or contact the firm via phone, text, or email, while deal flow is supplemented by broker referrals and institutional relationships with nationally recognized lending institutions that supply defaulted loan and non-performing note inventory. Revenue is generated through transaction fees — specifically, origination fees on new loans, interest income on short-term bridge and hard money loans, and resolution economics on acquired distressed debt.

There is no disclosed proprietary technology platform, API, or mobile application; the firm relies on a Squarespace website for digital presence and conventional communication channels for origination. The company is privately held with no funding rounds, no M&A activity, no patents or trademarks, and no regulatory actions on record. Its primary differentiation is local market knowledge, speed of decision-making, and the institutional relationships that enable both sourcing of distressed debt and competitive funding settlements for borrowers.

Direct peers

• RCN Capital: RCN Capital is a direct private/hard money lender focused on short-term bridge and fix-and-flip financing for real estate investors. It mirrors Brooklyn Bridge Capital's core model of short-term, asset-secured CRE lending to investors and property owners.
• Lima One Capital: Lima One Capital originates bridge, fix-and-flip, and rental loans for real estate investors nationwide. It directly competes with Brooklyn Bridge Capital on the short-term, asset-backed CRE loan origination model.
• Anchor Loans (Angel Oak): Anchor Loans is a large direct hard money/bridge lender to real estate investors, now part of Angel Oak. It competes head-to-head with Brooklyn Bridge Capital in the short-term CRE bridge lending product category.
• CoreVest Finance: CoreVest (acquired by Redfin) provides bridge and rental loans to residential and small-balance commercial real estate investors. Its loan products and target borrower profile overlap materially with Brooklyn Bridge Capital's investor-focused CRE lending.
• LendingOne: LendingOne is a private/hard money lender offering bridge and ground-up construction loans to real estate investors and developers. The construction financing and bridge loan products overlap directly with Brooklyn Bridge Capital's offerings.
• Kiavi (formerly LendingHome): Kiavi is a tech-enabled hard money lender providing bridge loans to residential and commercial real estate investors. It competes in the same short-term, asset-backed CRE loan origination category as Brooklyn Bridge Capital.

Emerging players

• Fund That Flip: Fund That Flip provides short-term bridge financing to fix-and-flip and rental investors, increasingly on the commercial side. It overlaps with Brooklyn Bridge Capital's hard money and bridge products but operates as a more capital-light marketplace-style lender.
• PeerStreet: PeerStreet operates an online marketplace that connects investors with short-term, real estate-backed loans originated by private lenders. It overlaps with Brooklyn Bridge Capital's bridge lending activity and could serve as either a competitor or distribution partner.

Broad incumbents

• LendingTree: LendingTree operates a broad loan marketplace across mortgage, personal, and small business credit. While not a direct competitor on commercial bridge loans, it represents the broader loan-aggregation and brokerage space adjacent to Brooklyn Bridge Capital's loan facilitation work.

Regional players

• New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) CRE Capital Partners: NYCEDC and affiliated NYC-focused CRE capital programs provide financing for commercial real estate in the same New York metro market where Brooklyn Bridge Capital operates. While non-profit/government-backed, they compete for the same regional commercial borrowers and projects.
