Innovative, asset-backed financing that bridges traditional credit discipline
with public-market opportunity.

Small and micro-cap public companies often face two poor options: toxic transactions that destroy shareholder value, or traditional lenders with rigid criteria. Traditional lenders cannot incorporate equity value into transactions, and underfund or avoid publicly-traded businesses as a result. Manetto aims to change this by providing secured equity-linked credit that enhances liquidity, safeguards equity, and optimizes capital costs.

Our Vision

We are on a mission to set a new standard in the small and micro-cap arena for accessible, sustainable, and intelligently engineered growth capital.

Who We Are

Our team combines deep experience in traditional secured lending and public-markets investing. This dual perspective allows us to underwrite risk holistically, assessing both collateral value and market dynamics in ways that other financial services firms simply cannot.

Approach

We view every transaction through two lenses — credit fundamentals and market dynamics. By aligning collateral strength with public-markets expertise, we create financing solutions that optimize weighted average cost of capital. The result: faster execution, smarter liquidity, and optionality no traditional lender can match.

Meet the Team

Collectively, the Manetto leadership team has deployed over $2 billion in capital across their respective careers, spanning asset-based lending, private credit, public and private equities, and structured investments.

Why CFOs Choose Manetto

Equity-Linked Securities with Stability. We offer competitive rates on traditional secured lending products, with one key differentiator: flexibility to repay balances in common stock. As a client of Manetto, you will have the option to retire outstanding loan balances in the market at a fixed price you determine. No ratchets, no resets, no toxicity.

The best operators understand that selling equity is a better decision than issuing debt above a certain price per share.

Cost of Equity vs Cost of Debt. Timing market reactions is impossible. What is possible is being prepared for market reactions before they occur. Instead of rushing into an expensive and chaotic overnight offering, Manetto offers a pathway to take advantage of favorable market prices whenever they occur.

Flexibility in the Wake of Volatility. 2025 has been a year of unprecedented uncertainty across both credit and equity markets — and we believe 2026 will bring even greater instability. Traditional secured lenders operate within rigid frameworks: miss a payment, trigger a covenant breach, and face repossession. That process destroys enterprise value and limits recovery for all parties involved.

Manetto takes a different approach. In addition to traditional workouts, we have the infrastructure to offer stock-based workout solutions — always under mutually agreeable circumstances. Where others see a default, we see an opportunity to realign incentives, preserve value, and keep businesses operating.

Partnership Beyond Funding. CFOs value that we understand their realities: investor relations, earnings visibility, and liquidity windows. We act as a true partner through market cycles, providing adaptive capital that evolves with their business. Manetto designs capital structures that optimize cost of capital across the debt–equity spectrum in ways that traditional lenders simply are not equipped to execute.

Joint Venture Opportunities

Are you a non-depository financial institution engaged in secured lending? Do you have at least one client that is publicly-traded? Have you ever turned away a potential client solely because they are publicly-traded? Are you interested in enhancing the yield in your transactions, for the same or an even better unit of risk compared to your current underwriting strategy?
