Collateral / Private Equity & Funds

Reputation, growth, and
revenue infrastructure
for private capital.

Collateral is Rush Carat’s dedicated practice for private equity firms, general partners, and institutional funds — built around the pace, discretion, and stakes of the asset class. One partner across the fund and the portfolio.

Why private capital is different

LPs, co-investors, lenders, and portfolio management teams all watch the same situation from different angles. A reputational event, a stalled process, or a portfolio company underperforming on revenue carries consequences that move well beyond a single asset. Collateral is built around that reality.

Where we engage

At the fund level, and directly inside the portfolio.

01

Fund & GP Reputation

For the fund

One point of accountability across the firm.

Rush Carat works directly with GPs and fund leadership on reputation, LP communications, and the moments — a fundraise, a leadership change, a market event — where the story around the firm needs to be actively managed rather than left to chance.

For the portfolio

Deployed directly into portfolio companies.

The same speed and discipline extends into individual portfolio companies — crisis response when something goes wrong, and outsourced revenue capacity deployed quickly when a company needs to accelerate growth ahead of a process.

Engagement model

Scoped to a single situation, a single portfolio company, or the full firm.
