Co-funder profit share agreements: what every originator should document

Co-funding is how syndication works: several fund partners back one transaction to spread risk. But a co-funded deal only works if everyone's profit share is documented — and calculated correctly at settlement.

Document the model, not the friendship

Each co-funder's arrangement — 50/50 split or fixed return, penalty and reward rates, contribution amount — should be written down and configured in the system once. Not remembered at each settlement.

The operator's margin is part of the agreement

The retained margin is what the operator earns for sourcing and running the deal. It should be visible in every payout schedule — for the operator and for every fund partner.

Automate the enforcement

When a deal settles, the system applies each co-funder's model automatically and publishes the schedule. No one negotiates the split after the money has moved.

Common questions

Asked straight.

Models are configured per investor and can be varied per deal — but always applied by the system, never by memory.
