VERDICT

Should I use Founderpath?

Capital Without Giving Up Equity - founderpath.com

Depends. Bootstrapped B2B SaaS founders with steady MRR who need cash without selling equity are the clear fit. Pre-revenue teams, non-SaaS businesses, and anyone with access to cheaper bank debt should look elsewhere.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 16 public sources; many snippets truncated, so exact rates and eligibility thresholds could not be verified.
