Group Including Allianz Life Ventures and Mouro Capital

Positions Company to Lead Next Generation of Private Credit Ratings and Financial Benchmarking

Transparency Analytics (“the Company”), a financial benchmarking business focused on private credit, today announced that it has completed its second funding round, led by Deciens Capital. Allianz Life Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America; Mouro Capital; FJ Labs; SUM Ventures; and Core Innovation Capital also participated in the round. Financial terms of the private transaction were not disclosed.

Transparency Analytics’ quantitative-based model delivers fully transparent ratings for corporate credit. In addition, its real-time indicative ratings portal enables the generation of rapid feedback on a company’s credit worthiness. The Company is currently providing corporate credit ratings for a variety of debt structures (including credit tenant leases, project finance and other methodologies) to institutional lenders managing more than $1 billion of credit assets.

“We are extremely proud to welcome this outstanding group of investors, including Deciens Capital, who is known for their focus on digital transformation, and Allianz Life Ventures, which is part of Allianz SE, one of the largest companies, insurers and asset managers in the world,” said Michael Brawer, Chief Executive Officer of Transparency Analytics. “We offer a differentiated model with the goal of providing highly transparent ratings at a time of heightened concern among market participants about the potential for elevated private credit risk in largely illiquid debt securities.”

The expected growth of private credit to $3.5 trillion by 2028 has underscored the need for transparent, efficient, consistent measurement and pricing of risk across the ecosystem—including capital providers, managers, borrowers, regulators, and insurers, who hold a substantial share of the asset class. Transparency Analytics was established to fulfill this need.

“We believe Transparency Analytics is poised to digitally transform the traditional, opaque credit ratings process with their next-generation, technology-enabled quantitative private debt ratings analysis,” said Daniel Kimerling, Founder and Managing Partner at Deciens Capital. “Through application of their model, ratings can be provided in a timely fashion without sacrificing accuracy, to deliver a new level of transparency that will allow lenders to act with confidence.”

Transparency Analytics’ team will use proceeds from the investment to scale its tech-enabled platform, refine go-to-market strategies, and develop innovative financial benchmarking solutions, such as its private credit index. The Company was founded in 2024 by a team that combines Wall Street analytics and Silicon Valley engineering.

"Michael and team have built a new technology-enabled way to score private credit risk and we can't be more excited to be backing them," said Jeff Weinstein, Partner at FJ Labs.

“We’re thrilled to back Transparency Analytics once again after participating in the first funding round,” said Chris Gottschalk, General Partner at Mouro Capital. “The team has made tremendous progress, and their approach has received a positive reception from a number of financial institutions as they work toward the goal of NRSRO designation with the Securities and Exchange Commission.”
