Throughout their careers, Preston Kearns and Jake Cassano witnessed first-hand the myriad challenges business owners faced in securing capital. The financial journey for many was fraught with obstacles: bait-and-switch tactics that promised much but delivered little, capital offers laced with terms that ensnared businesses in cycles of debt, and unforgiving lenders ready to declare default over a single missed payment. These were not just minor hurdles; they were significant impediments to growth and success, stifling the potential of promising enterprises. Moved by the struggles he observed and fueled by a conviction that the status quo was unacceptable, Jose envisioned a solution that would not only address these issues but also redefine the ethos of business funding. He saw the need for a platform that would stand as a beacon of hope and reliability, a company that would prioritize the well-being and prosperity of businesses over predatory profit-making. Thus, FundingBridgeLLC was created.
