Me: you hit $180m revenue, raised $380m... did you make money?
CEO: I only owned 2.6% at IPO, then filed Chapter 11

Going for broke is a high stakes game. 

Very LOW chance of founder making real $

Jared Yaman your transparency just saved founders ten years learning the same lesson themselves. Thank you!

Notice anything about this Founderpath engineering team photo?

Look closely:

Many of our eningeers are ex founders. 

They understand the value of saving founders time. 

I push them: Underwrite this deal.

They embrace it and always spot something new we can optimize. 

It's why I love our tuesday morning sessions 🚀 

Challenge is always the same:
How do we get accurate data from Founders?
How do we use that data to wire them capital as fast as possible?

Love you dudes!

Stephanie is super impressive. 

Her "Tiny Grocer" did $3.5m last year:

Its anything but Tiny.

She understands something fundamental:

Retail isn't about grabbing bread and soup. 

In a world where we all get upset reading X.....

She knows every brick and mortar needs to create an experience.

She does $1.6m at her onsite restaurant

Yes: Inside the grocery store. 

She's way ahead of everyone else. 

POwered by her 25 years at whole foods

... and her early experiments at the Deli there.

I offered her $500,000 on the spot.
