Chicago, IL — April 6, 2026 — Lamina, a purpose-built multi-lender platform for managing loan syndications and participations, today announced that BLC has selected Lamina to streamline its private credit origination process and enhance collaboration with participating lenders.
Historically, BLC’s deal distribution and participant coordination relied heavily on emails, phone calls, and one-off communications across multiple institutions. As BLC’s lending activity grew, the firm began evaluating technology that could simplify participant communication, expand its network of potential investors, and create a more efficient process for managing loan participations.
Lamina provides a centralized platform where institutions can upload deal information, share opportunities with participant organizations, and coordinate participation decisions in a structured digital environment.
“For years we’ve managed deal distribution through emails and phone calls, which becomes increasingly difficult to scale,” said David Manser, President and Chief Lending Officer at BLC. “We wanted a platform where we could post deals, communicate with participants, and allow lenders to evaluate opportunities on their own timeline. Lamina gives us a way to cast a wider net for participants while making the process far more efficient.”
Manser said the idea for such a platform surfaced internally before discovering Lamina.
“Our team was discussing how helpful it would be if we had a system where we could upload deals and allow a group of participating lenders to review and decide how they wanted to participate,” Freddie Mills, BLC Chief Operating Officer. “Then we arrived at Opal’s CLO event and there was Lamina — exactly what we had been describing.”
Through Lamina’s platform, BLC expects to streamline how deals are announced and shared with potential participants while reducing the operational friction associated with coordinating multiple institutions across different communication channels.
“In the past, distributing a deal might require individual outreach to several groups,” Manser said. “Now we can announce opportunities to participants simultaneously. It gives lenders the time they need to review and make decisions without the pressure of rushed communication, and it allows us to manage the process much more efficiently.”
BLC also sees the platform supporting its broader private credit strategy, including managing line-of-credit participation structures and maintaining transparency with participating institutions.
“Having a structured platform provides confidence to both sides,” Manser added. “Participants can clearly see deal opportunities and evaluate how they want to engage, while we can manage capital deployment more efficiently.”
The announcement follows Lamina’s recent launch of its AI-powered and API enabled Notice Management solution, designed to modernize one of the most manual operational processes in syndicated lending. The platform transforms email-based notice ingestion workflows into structured, reviewable processes using AI-powered data extraction, API-driven posting and task management capabilities.
Together, Lamina’s origination and notice management capabilities are designed to support the full lifecycle of syndicated lending and loan participation activity, from deal distribution through ongoing operational servicing.
“We built Lamina to help institutions move syndicated and participation lending out of fragmented communication channels and into a structured execution environment,” said Corey Coscioni, Co-founder and Chief Growth Officer at Lamina. “BLC’s vision for expanding participant access while improving operational efficiency aligns directly with the challenges many lenders are facing today.”
Lamina will be participating in DealCatalyst’s CLO & Private Credit Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, April 16–18, where the company will be meeting with lenders and private credit participants exploring technology to modernize syndicated lending and participation workflows.
