Software companies at this scale have generally monetized the tangible assets on their balance sheet using the instruments available to them: factoring against accounts receivable, revenue-based financing against contracted ARR, treasury management on cash reserves. Each of those asset classes can be converted into capital because a market exists to convert it. One recurring commitment of comparable scale has never had such a market. This report models what that is likely to have cost a company of this profile.

Executive human capital, 10 leaders*
~$2.5M / yr
No historical instrument available
* Executive headcount is an estimate derived from industry research on organizations of comparable revenue, sector and employee base. It has not been verified against internal records, and the figures modeled from it would change against an actual executive census. Asset values are likewise estimated from public information and sector benchmarks.
Five of six asset classes typically carry a structure. The sixth is the one that operates the other five.

Every other asset class returns something
Contracted recurring revenue of roughly this value would typically support a revenue-based financing facility, while the compensation committed each year to the executives who built and delivered that revenue carries nothing. The hidden cost is not money wasted. It is value never captured from money already committed.
Previously Inaccessible Structures
A structure to monetize executive human capital has existed for some time, but access has been gated by a collateral requirement that scales with program size. At LIFELENZ scale, the numbers illustrate why.
Program size at 10 executives
~$2.0M / yr
Lender collateral requirement
20% annually
Capital immobilized by year ten
~$4M
At an illustrative program of ~$2.0M per year across 10 qualifying executives, the conventional collateral pledge would likely absorb most of the estimated liquid position of a company this size. The structure never failed on merit. It failed on cost of capital, and it failed hardest for companies this size.
A New Monetization Instrument
Private capital has entered this market. The loan is secured by the policy's death benefit rather than by pledged company assets, which removes the constraint entirely.
1
Funded without LIFELENZ capital. Premiums, interest and costs sit inside the facility. No outlay, no collateral, no draw on cash.
2
Cash value compounds with no downside. Policies are front-loaded, fully funded within roughly ten years, then continue to compound.
3
Liquidity accessible during life. The company draws against cash value as income-tax-free cash flow while executives are still serving. No mortality event required.
4
The death benefit retires the loan. Repayment is tied to future death benefit, not to company cash flow. That is why no collateral is required.

Accessible Liquidity
Illustrative, modeled over 30 to 35 years
Same executives. Same spend. Different balance sheet.
The same executive population and the same estimated annual commitment could instead sit behind a modeled asset position of $20M in aggregate face value. No premium, no collateral, and no draw on cash that is likely already working elsewhere on the balance sheet. For the first time, that is a live decision.
Running this against your actual figures
Every number here is modeled from public data and sector benchmarks. Against your real executive census the figures change. Happy to walk through the mechanics, the lending terms, and the illustrative liquidity schedule at LIFELENZ scale. If it is not a fit, that becomes clear quickly and we stop there.
Kind regards,

It is not a claim, representation, or guarantee of income, revenue, cash flow, tax outcome, or the availability of any program, benefit, or financing to LIFELENZ or to any individual.

Figures are hypothetical. Company and balance sheet values, including executive headcount and compensation, are estimated from publicly available information and general sector benchmarks for workforce management software companies of comparable scale. They are directional only, have not been verified against internal records, and may differ materially from actual figures. Program sizing, face value, collateral, and liquidity figures are modeled using generalized assumptions and are not projections or estimates of results. Modeled liquidity is illustrative. Actual outcomes would depend on formal underwriting, insurability, lender approval, policy performance, prevailing interest rates and lending terms, and applicable law, and may be materially lower or unavailable.
