How matching works

A four-step confidential process designed to protect both sponsor and capital source.

1

Submit a Request

Free signup. You define project, location, capital sought and instrument preference. Confidentiality options including code-named profiles available.

2

Algorithmic Match

Our scoring engine ranks every institution in the network against your profile across geography, segment, ticket size, instrument and constraints.

3

Engagement Letter

Before any names are revealed, sign a standard intermediation agreement establishing scope, exclusivity and finder-fee terms.

4

Confidential Introductions

HotelCompass introduces you to a curated shortlist. Deal pipeline tracker keeps both parties accountable through to closing.

Aligned incentives

HotelCompass earns a finder's fee only when a deal closes — paid by the party benefiting from the introduction (most commonly the capital source for capital introductions, the operator for HMA introductions, or by mutual arrangement). Standard structures: Lehman Formula on equity raises (5-4-3-2-1%), basis-point fees on debt facilities, or fixed success fees for HMA placements. Detailed terms are set out in the engagement letter before any introduction takes place.

No deal closes → no fee. Aligned with sponsor success.
