# NYC Fund Launch: Colbeck Capital Launches $400M Strategic Income Direct Lending Vertical

> New York-based Colbeck Capital Management launched Colbeck Strategic Income with $400M on June 24, 2026, expanding its middle-market private credit platform.

Colbeck Capital Management launched **Colbeck Strategic Income (CSI)** with **~$400 million** on June 24, 2026 — a new direct lending vertical from the NYC middle-market credit firm.

## Key facts

- **Firm:** Colbeck Capital Management
- **Date announced:** June 24, 2026
- **Vehicle:** Colbeck Strategic Income (CSI)
- **Initial capital:** ~$400 million
- **Focus:** Direct lending, middle-market, transformative growth
- **HQ:** New York
- **Founded:** 2009 by Jason Colodne and Jason Beckman

## Platform context

CSI complements **Colbeck Strategic Lending (CSL)** at $1.7B+ invested/committed. CSL Fund III closed **40% above target** in December 2024.

## Why this matters

NYC continues to expand beyond venture into **private credit** — Colbeck's dual vertical (lending + income) reflects LP demand for yield and downside-protected growth capital, especially as traditional bank lending tightens for middle-market tech and services.
