I took $1m at my last SaaS company before our exit. We kept more equity and made more money when we exited.

We had several growth tactics we wanted to try going into Q3 of 2022. As we started executing and growing, we got an M&A offer we couldn't refuse. The extra cash in our bank gave us more confidence going into the negotiation. We got a higher valuation and closed last month. Founderpath's capital was hugely strategic during our M&A process. They let us pay off early without paying any fines once we finalized our acquisition," Josh, SaaS Founder

Longer terms than others, & a personal touch

Founderpath couldn't be an easier. I have experience with some of their competitors and they are leaps and bounds better. Here's what stood out:1. They took time to understand my business and our unique dynamics2. They offer a pro-rated early payoff schedule3. They are extremely responsive to communication (even on weekends)4. Most important: the cost of capital was about 20% lower than what competitors quoted.So far, its been a joy to work with founderpath. If you're a rapidly growing startup I highly encourage you to explore founderpath and see how this non-dilutive capital and help you grow.

After looking at 23 lenders, got 7 figure wire from Founderpath in under a week

After interviewing 23 lenders - it was wonderful to meet Founder Path. Their terms, process and understanding of speed was simply incomparable. Within 1 week we had completed diligence (and we aren't a small SaaS company). A few days later a seven figure wire hit our bank account and we were able to turn on the growth engine! In a nut shell, this is how lending should be done - great terms, super fast diligence and super fast to close.
