           Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1
           Submitted June 3, 2025
           CIK No. 0001443575
Dear Mark D. Mordell:

     We have reviewed your amended draft registration statement and have the
following
comments.

       Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and
either
submitting an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your
registration
statement on EDGAR. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why
in your
response.

      After reviewing the information you provide in response to this letter
and your
amended draft registration statement or filed registration statement, we may
have additional
comments. Unless we note otherwise, any references to prior comments are to
comments in
our May 9, 2025 letter.

Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1
Summary, page 1

1.     We note the response to prior comment 12 and the pie chart on page 7.
With a view to
       clarifying disclosure, advise us of the extent to which borrowers may
fall under more
       than one of the following three categories: Venture Lending, Specialty
Finance and
       Corporate Banking. If material, to provide context for the concentration
in loan and
       borrower characteristics, further clarify how you determine which
category to use. For
       example, we note technology companies appear to be borrowers in all
three
       categories, but it is unclear if the only distinguishing characteristic
for technology

       companies in the Venture Lending group is that they are VC-backed.
Alternatively, it
       is unclear if it is sufficient for them to meet the revenue and
profitability
       characteristics ("negative operating cash flows and no record of
profitability") without
       being VC-backed. It is also unclear if there are any technology
companies in the
       Specialty Finance or Corporate Banking groups that could be
"early-stage, growth-
       stage [or] late-stage technology companies."
Specialty Finance Division, page 103

2.     We note the revised disclosure that you continue to shift the mix of
Venture Lending
       clients to a larger concentration of expansion and later stage venture
companies,
       "which are typically approaching or have achieved positive operating
cash flows." If
       material, please further clarify the extent of this trend by, for
example, providing an
       approximate percentage of Venture Lending clients that have achieved
positive
       operating cash flows as compared to the previous financial statement
period.
       Please contact John Spitz at 202-551-3484 or Cara Lubit at 202-551-5909

questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters.

                                                            Division of
