Where TRIN is headed
Trinity Capital sits in the middle of a private credit boom that nobody saw coming five years ago and almost everybody has now noticed. The piece most people miss is that venture debt, the slice TRIN actually plays in, is structurally different from the direct lending giants like Ares and Blue Owl chase. Trinity finances growth-stage companies that cannot get a normal bank loan, secured against equipment, IP and recurring revenue, at coupons that still print double-digit yields in 2026 even after rate cuts. The book has grown from roughly $1.1B in originations in 2022 to a platform now running an internally-managed RIA alongside the BDC balance sheet, which is the quiet story driving the next leg.
