# Private Credit Software Exposure: free sample (Tensorust LLC)

Every BDC loan to a software or IT borrower, with marks, mark trends and which lenders hold the most.

**Headline:** Software is private credit's largest sector, and AI tools put many SaaS revenue models at risk.

This repository is a **free teaser**, not the dataset. It holds 25 example rows and a summary table with no names in it. The full file has **6,860 rows** and is sold by Tensorust LLC: **[https://tensorust.com/datasets/bdc-software-borrower-exposure/](https://tensorust.com/datasets/bdc-software-borrower-exposure/)**.

## Method and limits

Tag a position software when its identifier or industry tag matches software, SaaS or IT terms, extend the tag to every position in the same borrower, attach Q1 marks and the cross-lender view.

Not a full sector classification (BDCs that file no industry text are only caught through another lender's tag), not an AI-risk score for any borrower, not investment advice. No personal data.
