This is our second draw with Founderpath. Once we were setup from the first draw, the second draw was funded in under 24 hours. Super fast. Allows me to focus on building my business instead of taking... See more

Founderpath understands startups! They bring the VC mentality without the equity. It's a great bet over traditional banks or other lenders like Novel. We found that their terms are the most founder-fr... See more

No strings attached non-dilutive debt

We recently worked with Founderpath to draw down a loan with zero dilution. Nathan and the team at Founderpath where easy to work with and the process was extremely straightforward and we received the funds very quickly once agreed.

Exactly the type of funding we were looking for

Founderpath has been a perfect avenue for our short-term cash needs. Instead of the "traditional" process with all the headaches, Nathan and his team made it really easy for us to fund additional development resources in order to get our next version to market sooner than planned. We take cash as we need it and repay it quickly based on the customer run rate. As an equity owner, not having to give up equity in exchange for funds is exactly what our company was looking for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Founderpath as a viable funding option.

Fair, transparent and supportive

I’d spent 12 years looking for a fair, transparent and easy to use debt funding option for my SaaS prior to finding Founderpath. Since testing them out almost a year ago, they’ve become not only our key financing option, but a trusted partner in medium term planning as well.

The team is top notch, the terms are fair and transparent and the focus they put on bootstrapped SaaS founders is unwavering.

Finally, I feel like I have a financier in my corner.

Founderpath is probably the best and…

Founderpath is probably the best and most nimble of the companies in this saas funding sector by enabling fast-growing b2b saas companies the dry powder (capital) to execute on their business plans and grow faster. Our experience with Founderpath was superb. The people who started and run founderpath are past software company founders themselves and are philosophically aligned with what it takes to bootstrap and grow a saas business. They are a critical piece in our growth strategy. Can't say enough great things about our experience and ease of working with them.

Nothing but good things to say…

Nothing but good things to say about Founderpath. I'm the founder and CEO of Mangomint (mangomint.com) and we started working with them a few months ago, as an alternative to raising outside capital and instead use our ARR to finance investments in growth.

The cost of capital is significant, but it's still cheaper than giving annual prepay discounts to customers and it doesn't dilute the shareholders, which is a huge benefit and exactly what we were looking for.

The process of working with them so far has been great. After we connected our accounts, we got on an initial call and had an open conversation about growth projections, goals, and terms.

Less than a week later, we had agreed on a deal structure and proceeded with the financing. We have since done two separate draws, and are planning to continue using Founderpath as an effective no-dilution funding vehicle as we grow.

Great Experience with Founderpath; Highly Recommend

We have used Founderpath as an ongoing source of non-dilutive growth capital for our fast-growing B2B SaaS company, Exercise.com, and have been very impressed with the ease of use, quick response times, and flexibility. Nathan and Kevin are great to work with and I look forward to partnering with them in the future. If you are a growing SaaS company that needs capital to fund future growth I would strongly recommend working with Founderpath.

Kevin & Nathan are really easy to deal with - I've been through the process with their competitors and all of this type of lender want you to connect your accounts up first so that they can make a decision based on where you are in your business.

Professional, easy to work with, and great business partners to our growing startup.

Scammy

Seems like a scam, they ask to connect to all your financials before doing anything. No way to delete or remove your data. Would recommend staying away from them until you get them to sign an NDA. I made the mistake of proceeding without one.
