About J1 Funding
BESPOKE FINANCIAL ENGINEERING
Capital is a commodity in the world of private credit.
Despite vast sums being raised in recent years by traditional asset managers, that capital flocks to the same types of transactions, typically involving more homogenous collateral types and larger transaction sizes.
J1 engages with earlier-stage specialty finance companies with non-traditional collateral to help them scale up through the use of debt.
Through our joint venture with a leading multi Billion dollar credit fund, we offer innovative financing structures that don’t typically meet the investment criteria of banks and traditional debt providers.

OUR Leadership
John Eck
Managing Member
John is an innovator in the world of alternative credit, having honed his transactional expertise and investment approach over a decades-long career that has seen him transition from a sell-side banker to a specialty finance investor and financier.
John specializes in creating deals from the ground up, many of which involve counterparties and/or collateral that are outside the comfort zone of banks and traditional asset managers. He enjoys the intellectual exercise involved with the production and execution of challenging transactions as well as the satisfaction involved with helping his clients take it to the next level.
