“I am honored to be joining Cadence at this critical juncture,” Shteynberg said. “It’s clear Cadence has the opportunity to truly disrupt the private credit industry, and I’m thrilled at the opportunity to be part of this incredible team,” Shteynberg said.
Shteynberg’s hiring comes during a period of accelerated growth and momentum for Cadence. Founded in mid-2018, Cadence has quickly positioned itself at the forefront of private credit. Its retail division, offering an investment platform for accredited investors, has seen a surge in growth since going live in July 2019. More than $115 million of notes have been issued across 100 offerings and 12 originators. To date, the company has paid out over $2.19 million in interest. Retail and institutional investors alike have taken to Cadence’s platform in part because of the unique deals offered for investment, including short durations, high yields and zero fees.
