The Missing Trust Layer
PrivateLenderLink (Lender Link) has built a directory for real estate investors to find hard money and bridge lenders. But their model is fundamentally an advertising platform: lenders pay a monthly fee (averaging $650/month) to appear in search results.
LendLedger is built differently. We believe the private credit market—projected to hit $5 trillion by 2029—needs a true reputation layer, not just another lead-gen board. In private lending, trust goes both ways. Lenders need to know an operator's track record and repayment history, and operators need to know a lender closes when they commit.
