Images show a sample of the app interface. The deal size, rate, and closing time shown are hypothetical, not actual transactions, and are not a guarantee of results. Stride Capital is a marketplace that facilitates connections. It does not provide investment, legal, or tax advice. All lending involves risk, including loss of principal.

The Reality
Every week a deal sits unfunded, someone else closes it.
Borrowers spend weeks messaging lenders and posting in groups. Lenders sift through email lists hoping the right deal shows up. Stride Capital removes that manual outreach on both sides. Borrowers post once, and lenders see only the deals that match their criteria.
Verifying them? That takes even longer.
Coordinating the paperwork? That's where deals die.
Stride Capital fixes all three.
We help private lenders find deals that fit their criteria without the endless search.
Free to use. Deals that match your criteria come straight to your feed.
The private lending platform built for you. Set your criteria, review verified borrowers, and fund deals with full paperwork automation.
Only ID-Verified Borrowers
Every project comes with an AI due diligence report, optional background checks available.
Deals that match your thesis
Set rate, LTV, geography, asset type. Algorithm surfaces matches only.
Automated closing
Once you agree, a transaction coordinator manages the paperwork through closing. You can track every step inside the app.
Hard money and private money all in one place
Stop hunting for capital. Let capital find you.
List your deal once to get matched with private investors and hard money lenders.
On private investor deals, the fee is due at closing:
1 point = 1% of the loan amount.
Matched, not guessed
Skip the cold outreach. Our algorithm surfaces only the lenders whose criteria match your deal, so every introduction is a real fit.
Backed by a resource network
Trusted vendors to optimize your operation. Alternative funding to grow your capital stack. All in Stride Capital's resource hub.
How it works
Three steps to your next funded deal
No cold calls. No guesswork. Just verified matches and automated closing.
Verify your profile
Two-tap identity verification for real estate borrowers. Optional background check for extra trust.
Match your criteria
Lenders set their criteria. Real estate borrowers list their deals. Our private lender matching algorithm pairs you with the right opportunity.
Close with coordination on autopilot
Agreement triggers our coordination network, or the two parties can choose their own coordinator. Paperwork, title and appraisal are all tracked inside the app.
Inside the app

TWO-SIDED RATINGS
Every deal builds a track record.
After a deal closes, borrowers and lenders rate each other. Reputations are earned in the open, so you know who you're working with before you say yes.
The origin story
Kayla Hamrick lost her first lending deal to a ghost. Stride Capital is her answer.
After 14 years in healthcare, Kayla realized her retirement math was broken. She discovered private lending, jumped in, and on her first deal the flipper vanished with her capital.
Instead of walking away, she built the platform she wishes had existed: verified users, clear criteria, background checks, automated coordination. A safer, faster, smarter way to connect capital with deals.
"Built for the shift from hoping to knowing."
