There’s a trust recession in lending. We’re here to fix it.
After working across two brokerages and a direct lender in the non-QM space, our founder (Cayden) saw the same problem repeated at every stop: lenders treating investors like loan applications instead of clients. Inconsistent execution, limited product access, and almost no emphasis on the relationship.
Clearfund was built as a direct response to that. Not just a better broker — a different kind of lending partner. One that leads with advice, operates with transparency, and takes the time to understand what you’re actually trying to accomplish before suggesting a single loan product.
We believe the best financing decisions come from understanding the deal first — the purchase, the exit, the timeline, the long-term portfolio impact — and structuring the debt around that. Not the other way around.
Not just access. Actual expertise.
Most brokers give you a rate and a lender. We give you a strategy, a structure, and a partner who sees the deal the same way you do.
The people you’ll actually work with.
No call centers, no handoffs. When you work with Clearfund, you work directly with an advisor who knows your deal from start to close.
Cayden Wilson
Founder & Principal
Cayden founded Clearfund after working across two brokerages and a direct lender in the non-QM space — and growing frustrated with the industry’s tendency to prioritize volume over relationships and execution over strategy.
With a background in engineering and a prior career running a design and marketing company in the luxury custom home space, Cayden brings a structured, detail-oriented approach to deal analysis that most loan officers don’t. He built Clearfund around a simple conviction: investors deserve expert debt advice, not just a rate quote.
He operates out of Columbus, Ohio, and works with investors across Clearfund’s full lending footprint.
