What is mezzanine debt?

Q: How many Mezzanine lenders are there?

The Agentas database tracks 449 active funds with a Mezzanine mandate as of Oct 11, 2026. Among the 121 whose check size is confirmed from a published source, the median range is $5M to $50M.

Mezzanine debt is subordinated capital that sits between senior debt and equity — higher-cost than senior debt but cheaper than dilution, often carrying an equity kicker such as warrants.

How it works

Ranks behind senior lenders in repayment, so it prices higher (often low-to-mid teens all-in).
Usually unsecured or second-lien, sized on EBITDA rather than hard assets.
Frequently includes warrants or payment-in-kind (PIK) interest to reduce cash coupon.

When borrowers use it

Filling the gap when senior lenders cap out but the deal needs more leverage.
Buyouts, recapitalizations, and growth capital where dilution is not an option.
