Starhold sits at the intersection of quantitative analytics, structured credit, fund strategy, and institutional capital allocation. We advise across the full capital table — with the technical depth that comes from building platforms, not just advising on them.

The best capital relationships aren't transactional — they're built on a shared understanding of risk, structure, and alignment.

Our expertise developing and deploying solutions at firms such as Blackstone and J.P. Morgan spans quantitative modeling, credit and data product development, and building investment and data teams from the ground up.

This includes scaling a residential credit platform to multi-billion dollar AUM — designing investment processes, developing proprietary data products, and standing up the teams to operate them at institutional scale.

Today, Starhold serves as a strategic advisor to fund managers, allocators, and origination platforms. We sit on fund advisory boards, investment committees, and credit and risk committees, and work hands-on with clients on data and technology strategy.

The firm operates across four practices — data and quantitative analytics, debt advisory, fund formation, and allocation advisory — with an active network spanning North America, Europe, the GCC, and Asia Pacific.

Services

Where data meets
capital strategy

I

Data, AI & Quantitative Analytics

Data product development and quantitative advisory spanning both fund managers and lending platforms. For funds: data strategy, portfolio analytics, and LP reporting infrastructure. For lenders: data product strategy, institutional-grade analytics — loan tape stratification, performance cohort analysis, and capital provider reporting — designed to support structured debt raises and ongoing facility management.

II

Debt Advisory & Structured Finance

Credit product development and end-to-end advisory on structured debt raises for fintech lenders, PropTech companies, and specialty finance platforms. From product strategy through facility structuring, term sheet negotiation, lender selection, diligence coordination, and closing — across warehouse lines, forward flows, borrowing base facilities, and whole loan programs. The firm also serves on credit and risk committees, providing ongoing oversight alongside capital formation.

III

GP Advisory & Fund Formation

Strategic advisor and board participant to fund managers across the structural and strategic dimensions of building and running a fund — from formation and governance design through capital strategy, portfolio strategy, and ongoing strategic guidance. The firm sits on multiple fund advisory boards, investment committees, and credit and risk committees, bringing hands-on operational perspective to every engagement.

IV

Outsourced CIO & Allocation Advisory

Strategic investment advisory for allocators, banks, and insurance companies seeking institutional-quality oversight without building a full internal team. We provide capital allocation frameworks, asset-liability management, manager sourcing and due diligence, portfolio construction, and ongoing monitoring — calibrated to your mandate, risk tolerance, and return objectives.
