About OBSIDIAN EQUITIES LLC

Direct lending with institutional discipline and a Brooklyn perspective.

OBSIDIAN EQUITIES LLC is a Brooklyn, New York-based direct lender focused on providing thoughtful, collateral-driven capital to real estate sponsors, experienced entrepreneurs, and professional investors.

Our perspective

OBSIDIAN EQUITIES LLC was founded with a straightforward idea: experienced operators deserve a lender who understands how capital decisions intersect with strategy, timing, and execution in the real world.

As a direct lender, we prioritize clarity and momentum. We focus on collateral, business plans, and track record, applying a disciplined underwriting process without the layers of a traditional retail banking environment.

How we work

Each opportunity is considered on its merits. We engage with sponsors and business owners who value straightforward feedback and a lender that can speak the same language they use with their own partners and stakeholders.

  • Direct access to decision-makers throughout the process.
  • Emphasis on clear structures, documentation, and communication.
  • Focus on repeat relationships with experienced borrowers.

What guides OBSIDIAN EQUITIES LLC

We aim to remove noise from the capital conversation. From the first discussion through closing, borrowers know where they stand and what to expect.

Discipline

We apply institutional-style underwriting and risk management to every opportunity, balancing structure with the realities of operating businesses and investment projects.

Alignment

We focus on situations where our capital can help capable operators execute their plans. When interests are aligned, we can move decisively and constructively.
