Inspiration

Syndicated lending depends on collaboration, yet the onboarding of loan deals remains manual and fragmented. Even after an Agent Bank validates a Facility Agreement, each lender independently re-enters and re-interprets the same deal data. This duplication causes delays, inconsistencies, and operational risk. DealHUB was inspired by the need for a single, trusted source of truth for syndicated loan data.

What it does

DealHUB enables Agent Banks to upload and validate deal data once and securely distribute the same standardized dataset to all participating lenders. Lenders can ingest this data directly into their loan servicing systems via APIs or structured exports, eliminating redundant manual setup and reconciliation.

How we built it

We designed DealHUB as a modular platform combining AI-driven document extraction, agent-controlled validation, and secure data distribution. For the hackathon MVP, we implemented an end-to-end flow: uploading a Facility Agreement, extracting key deal attributes, validating them through a simple UI, and exporting structured data in JSON format.

Challenges we ran into

The main challenges were balancing automation with Agent control, ensuring the solution fits seamlessly into existing bank ecosystems, and delivering a meaningful MVP within a limited hackathon timeframe.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Demonstrating a realistic one-to-many onboarding model for syndicated loans

Successfully converting unstructured legal documents into structured deal data

Delivering an interoperable solution without replacing existing loan systems

Building a credible, end-to-end working MVP in a short time

What we learned

We learned that many inefficiencies in syndicated lending are driven by data fragmentation rather than system limitations. Interoperability, standardization, and agent-led governance are key enablers for scalable digital transformation.

What's next for DealHub

Next steps include expanding coverage to amendments and waivers, supporting secondary market transactions, enriching validation rules, and integrating directly with major loan servicing platforms to move toward industry-wide standardization.
