AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 9, 2025--

Lane Four Capital Partners (”Lane Four”), a dedicated debt capital markets advisor exclusively serving private equity sponsors, today announced it has helped its clients raise more than $1 billion in debt capital and successfully close over 10 sponsor-led financings during its first full year of operations.

Founded in August 2024, Lane Four Capital Partners was created with a single mission: to deliver deep, execution-focused, and aligned partnership to private equity firms navigating the debt capital markets. Unlike traditional advisors, L4CP operates as a true extension of the sponsor team – offering highly bespoke transaction leadership rooted in firsthand private credit investing experience.

“What sets us apart is how we partner,” said Rob Chuchla, Co-Founder and Partner. “We work shoulder to shoulder with our clients across their entire portfolios, bringing a lender’s mindset and an owner’s mindset to every transaction and every investment. That means understanding not just where the market is – but what truly matters to each sponsor and portfolio company over time.”

“We’ve sat in the investor seat,” added Robert Buckwalter, Co-Founder and Partner. “We understand how credit committees think, how risk is priced, and how structures and terms flex. That perspective allows us to anticipate challenges, tailor market strategy, and ultimately better represent our clients at the negotiating table. It’s a different kind of advisory—and the results speak for themselves.”

Highlights from Lane Four’s First Year:

• $1 billion+ in debt capital raised for private equity-backed platforms and add-ons
• 10+ financing transactions completed, including leveraged buyouts, dividend recaps, transformative upsizes, and refinancings
• 100% of transactions sourced through direct, long-term sponsor relationships
• Embedded capital markets support across the full investment lifecycle, including portfolio management
• Trusted access to a broad network of private credit lenders and alternative capital providers

This milestone marks the beginning of Lane Four’s longer-term mission to redefine the sponsor experience in the private debt markets – through transparency, strategy, and steadfast partnership.

“We’re not transaction chasers – we’re capital markets partners,” said Chuchla. “As our sponsor clients scale, our job is to bring clarity, conviction, and continuity to how they approach the debt markets. That model is working – and we’re just getting started.”
