Where great projects meet great capital.
Infra-Backer is a platform for infrastructure finance, built to connect developers, investors, advisors and researchers through structured project data, mandate-led matching and infrastructure market intelligence. Access shouldn't depend only on personal networks.
Raising capital shouldn't mean working your contacts list.
Infrastructure finance still runs on relationships: the same handful of banks, the same parallel email threads, no structure and no leverage. List your project once, structured the way investors evaluate, capital stack, financing requirement per tranche, milestones, stakeholders. Infra-Backer screens each tranche against active investor mandates on the platform and alerts investors where there is a mandate fit. You can fill senior debt, mezzanine and equity from different investors against the same project, shortlisting each tranche on its own terms.
- ✓List projects free. No retainer, no listing fee, no seat fees
- ✓Source interest across the capital stack, with different investors able to engage on different tranches.
- ✓Automatic matching against live investor mandates
- ✓You control who progresses, from expression of interest to shortlist, preferred counterparty and funded allocation
- ✓You pay only when you choose to shortlist and take it forward
Example solar project, Portugal
Senior Debt / £120m
Mezzanine Debt / £55m
If deal flow depends on who you know, you are missing what fits.
What reaches your desk is filtered by relationships, not by fit, and most of it is off-mandate. Set your mandate once at the firm level: sectors, geographies, ticket size, instruments, risk style, tenor. Matching runs at the tranche level, so you're alerted when a specific financing requirement fits, not just a vaguely relevant project. Take a full position, a partial, or counter-propose a structure.
- ✓Free access to browse marketplace opportunities
- ✓Tranche-level matching against your firm's mandate
- ✓Take part of a capital stack, not just all-or-nothing
- ✓Counter-propose structure where it suits you
- ✓Direct developer contact once you're shortlisted

- ✓Only briefs matching your service types reach you
- ✓Subscribe to open briefs in full and express interest
- ✓Direct contact on shortlist; terms agreed off-platform
- ✓No success fee on mandates you win - just the subscription

Most of the job is stitching the data together. We've done that part.
Infrastructure market data is scattered across public databases, regulators and paywalled providers. Infra-Analytics sources infrastructure data globally and normalises it into one analytical layer: macroeconomic context, sector trends, capital-market activity, geographic breakdowns, policy tracking. Infra-Maps plots the global project landscape. You never have to touch the marketplace to get value from the intelligence.
- ✓Global infrastructure data, sourced and normalised
- ✓Macro, sector, capital-markets and geographic analysis in one place
- ✓Built on global sources, not on our own deal flow
- ✓Free core views; Premium Insights unlocks full depth and exports

Infra-Maps
A marketplace and an intelligence layer, working together.
Infra-Pipeline is the transactional marketplace where capital gets raised. Infra-Analytics and Infra-Maps are an independent intelligence layer: they source infrastructure data globally from public and third-party infrastructure datasets and analyse it through the platform. The pipeline adds its own signal, but the intelligence stands on its own.
Infra-Pipeline
The transactional layer. Developers list, investors discover and bid across the capital stack, advisors pitch, all through a structured engagement flow from expression of interest to shortlist, with a full audit trail.
Infra-Analytics
Infrastructure market intelligence sourced worldwide, normalised and analysed through the platform. Independent of your own deal flow.
Infra-Maps
The global infrastructure landscape, plotted. Source and explore projects, assets and context spatially, well beyond what's listed on the platform.
All major infrastructure sectors, risk profiles and lifecycle stages.
From greenfield tidal to operational digital towers, the platform's taxonomy maps to how investors actually build mandates.
Digital
Includes data centres, fibre networks, subsea cables, telecoms towers, satellite infrastructure, broadcast infrastructure and other communications networks powering the digital economy.
Economic
Includes transport networks and non-energy utility services, including ports, roads, bridges, airports, railways, water, wastewater, waste management and other essential civic infrastructure.
Energy
Includes renewable and conventional power generation, electricity transmission and distribution, energy storage, hydrogen, district heating, and energy-related pipeline networks.
Social
Includes public and community-use infrastructure, including education, healthcare, social care, affordable housing, senior living, government buildings, judicial facilities and selected public-use civic assets.
Core
Operational, essential infrastructure with highly predictable cash flows, typically supported by regulation, availability payments, long-term contracts, or strong monopoly characteristics.
Core-Plus
Infrastructure with broadly stable cash flows but some additional exposure to demand, re-contracting, inflation, operating performance, development completion, or market pricing.
Value-Added
Assets where returns depend on active enhancement, expansion, repositioning, operational improvement, refinancing, or commercial optimisation.
Opportunistic
Higher-risk infrastructure opportunities where returns are driven primarily by development, construction, market entry, technology adoption, restructuring, or material capital appreciation.
Development
Pre-construction. Projects in planning, permitting, land assembly, grid/access procurement, design, commercial structuring or pre-construction.
Greenfield
New construction. The asset is being built from the ground up. Risk from construction delivery, development cost, and demand ramp-up, with no legacy constraints.
Brownfield
Existing assets requiring improvement, repair, or expansion. Typically lower risk because the asset is already partially or fully operational and may already generate income.
Operational / Secondary
Fully operational assets requiring no further development, including secondary-market acquisitions. The lowest risk profile, with no construction or ramp-up exposure.

Raise capital across the stack
Publish your project once, structured around the way investors evaluate opportunities: sector, location, capital stack, financing requirement by tranche, key stakeholders and milestones. Infra-Backer screens each tranche against active investor mandates and surfaces relevant interest. You choose which investors to shortlist and progress. Listing is free; the platform fee applies only when you choose to shortlist and reveal a counterparty.
Find infrastructure opportunities that fit your mandate.
Set your firm-level mandate by sector, geography, ticket size, instrument, risk style and tenor. Infra-Backer alerts you when a specific financing tranche matches your mandate, not just when a broadly relevant project appears. Express interest in a full allocation, partial allocation, or alternative structure. If shortlisted, your contact details are released to the developer and negotiations continue directly off-platform.
Win qualified briefs.
Create a free firm profile covering your services, jurisdictions, sector experience and references. Developers can publish project-specific advisor requests, and matching briefs are surfaced to your firm. A subscription is required to open full briefs and express interest. If shortlisted, your contact details are released to the developer so you can agree scope, terms and engagement directly. Infra-Backer does not charge a success fee on mandates you win.
