Studio b. LMM Bridge Fund I · LP entry
Studio b. LMM Bridge Fund I is purpose-built for the deepest structural gap in LMM credit — where borrower credit is good but banks cannot move quickly enough, structure flexibly enough, or stay long enough. The fund underwrites against the same data we publish quarterly as Studio b. LMMI. Fund I opens to qualified purchasers and accredited investors at first close.
Request the backtester →Why invest
Lower middle market businesses hit moments that require speed, structural flexibility, or longer patience than a conventional bank can deliver. This is not a credit-quality gap — it is a capability gap. That gap is our market.
Capital sits inside a broader operating practice that puts us in rooms with operators, advisors, and capital providers across US and UK LMM. The same data that informs our underwriting is published quarterly as Studio b. LMMI — the open Lower Middle Market Direct Lending Index.
4-year reinvestment, 3-year harvest. Quarterly distributions. ILPA-aligned reporting from inception. Non-U.S. LPs access the fund without entanglement in the U.S. tax perimeter. Qualified purchasers and institutional LPs only.
Rule 506(c) · Accredited self-attestation · Backtester access
We don't send a deck. We share access to the LMMI backtest model — apply your own assumptions to thirty years of cross-jurisdictional default and recovery data, and see how the strategy would have performed against your scenarios. Your model runs sharpen our thesis. Fund I is offered under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D — public solicitation of accredited investors is permitted, and subscription requires third-party verification of accredited status prior to investment. Backtester access is shared after self-attestation and a brief introduction.
