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.
