Lighter Capital Reviews

Pablo Laurino

Pablo Laurino

Founder of Publica

Switched to Founderpath from Lighter Capital

Lighter Capital makes it hard and time consuming for founders to check and pay monthly settlements, they lack an easy-to-use UI , the process of getting an offer involves multiple docs, background checks and meetings while with Founderpath the process is seamless, easy and even fun with easy monthly repayment and no hidden fees or complex agreements.

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.
