Up-to-3-position consolidation

Underwrites to clean 1st position post-consolidation, not deep-stack pile-on.
Pricing better than deep-stack peers

550 FICO floor
B-paper accessibility consistent with category mid-tier.
03Where App Funding Beta falls short
Newer operator
Founded 2019 — limited operational history through full market cycles.
"Beta" branding signals development-stage product
Name suggests platform still iterating on product/process.
$300K ceiling
Below top-tier MCA peers ($500K).
12-month TIB minimum
More restrictive than 6-month-TIB mid-tier peers.
