Скачать или смотреть What Is Middle Market Investment Banking (And Why Lenders Should Care)

What the hell is middle market investment banking—and why should you, as a lender, actually care? In this inaugural episode, host Jesse Welch from MidCap Global breaks down what “middle market” really means, why nobody agrees on a single definition, and why that ambiguity creates both risk and opportunity for lenders.


Jesse explains how MidCap Global, a boutique investment bank, helps strong but unrated companies access capital quickly, and why that matters if you’re a commercial lender, non-bank lender, or part of a private credit platform that is tired of wasting time on ugly, unqualified deals. Using a simple definition—“the middle market is anything that is not rated”—he connects the dots between credit ratings, deal quality, and the flow of clean, qualified opportunities to your pipeline.

​Whether you focus on cash flow loans, ABL, sponsor and non‑sponsor deals, or direct lending in the private credit space, this episode sets the foundation for understanding where middle market investment banking fits in the capital stack and how the right banking partner can help you see better deals, faster.

​What you’ll learn in this episode:

What “middle market” actually means in practice for lenders.

​How different players define the middle market (revenue, loan size, deal size, “know it when you see it”).

Why unrated companies are the core of the middle market and why that matters for risk, structure, and return.

How a boutique investment bank like MidCap Global filters and qualifies opportunities before they hit your desk.

If you’re in commercial lending, private credit, or any form of middle market credit, this show is built for you.
