C3 Fund I
Launch Q2 2026
A Private Credit Structure that converts risk into vaulted gold.
Engineered Yield, Vaulted Gold, Structural Optionality
C3 Funds originates senior-secured loans to producing or production-ready gold mines, but repayment of principal + interest isn't in fiat....
It's in physical gold, delivered at a negotiated discount and stored in secure vaults.
Over 5 years, investors stack gold while earning production-linked royalties, all with optional in-kind delivery or monetized return at maturity.
This is private credit designed for an inflationary regime, combining contractual yield, real asset security, and asymmetric upside.

More Than Diversification:
A Structural Upgrade for Modern Portfolios
This Isn't a Category Fit.
It's a Category Redesign
What It Is:
A senior-secured credit strategy repaid in gold, with operational control, royalty upside, and optional physical delivery.
Why It’s Different:
-
Discounted gold repayment
-
In-kind royalties tied to throughput
-
Tax-efficient gold stacking
-
Real assets, not reserve estimates
-
Vaulted, verifiable collateral
Why It Matters Now:
-
Credit dislocation
-
Inflation pressure
-
Capital scarcity in mining
-
Flight to real assets
Where Capital Dislocation Meets Engineering Precision
The Structural Gap:
-
Mid-tier mines need $5M–$25M — too large for venture capital, too small for banks
-
Traditional lenders lack technical mining expertise
-
Equity markets are inefficient, dilutive, and speculative
-
Underwriting costs remain high regardless of project size
What that Creates
-
A persistent, global funding vacuum for production-ready assets
-
Cash-flowing projects with strong collateral but no access to capital
-
Operators willing to offer royalties, gold discounts, and governance rights in exchange for structured funding
Why Now
-
Inflation risk + tightening credit = demand for real, productive assets
-
Global shift toward de-dollarization and gold accumulation
-
A generation of mines built in the last gold cycle now need capital to restart or scale
-
ESG overlays, Basel III, and de-risking limit bank flexibility — while C3 steps in with execution-based underwriting
Venture Capital
<$5M Equity
High Risk Tolerance
No Technical Oversight
No Collateral
C3 Funds targets the capital vacuum with operationally secured lending - where others can't underwrite.
Capital Gap
$5M - $25M
Too Complex for VC
Too small for Banks and Institutions
No efficient underwritters
Institutional Equity
or Credit

Requires Large Scale
ESG, Basel III Restricted
Why This Gap Exists
-
Banks can’t underwrite geology
-
VC won’t fund capex
-
Equity = dilution
-
C3 deploys structured credit with operational control
Credit Is Constrained. Gold Is Rising.
We’re Structured for Both.
This isn’t a trend. It’s a convergence
The Structural Capital Dislocation
-
Banks constrained by Basel III, ESG overlays, and lack of technical capacity
-
Mid-tier producers fall into a financing vacuum — $5M–$25M too small for banks, too large for VC
-
Equity markets remain dilutive and slow
-
Result: capital scarcity at the exact moment mines are ready to scale
The Gold-Driven Macro Tailwinds
-
Global de-dollarization and growing sovereign gold reserves
-
Structural underinvestment in new mine development
-
Inflation volatility and fiat debasement driving demand for hard assets
-
Gold is being recast as a strategic reserve — not just a hedge
