About — Dorado

Our Story

Founded in Perth, Dorado has grown from a pioneer in non-bank lending to a diversified platform spanning real estate credit, private markets, development finance, and biodiversity investments. With 16+ years of experience, our track record speaks to our disciplined approach.

The Dorado Name

Named after the dorado fish (also known as mahi-mahi), our brand embodies the qualities of this remarkable creature: agility, strength, speed, instinct, and prosperity. Like the dorado, we navigate markets with precision and purpose.
