Why we started Lelia

The future of credit needs transparent data and clear processes.

Lelia was founded to make debt capital flow seamlessly into the companies building our future. Coming from the impact space, we experienced firsthand how outdated, manual refinancing processes held back hardware companies trying to scale, not because of weak fundamentals, but because the infrastructure hadn't kept pace.

The next decade's innovation is hardware driven:

data centres, solar, semiconductors, EV charging. These businesses need debt to scale, but structured finance remains inaccessible for growth-stage companies.

We built Lelia to automate the operational barriers that block capital flow. Our platform turns credit agreements into operational systems, managing credit lines, facilities, drawdowns, and reporting without bespoke infrastructure or six-figure advisors. Our vision extends further: transparent data exchange, improved credit data, and ultimately a seamless debt capital market.
