Building a System That Makes $1M+ a Month | Nathan Latka

Founder Path is a platform where you can connect your P&L, your bank account, your Stripe account, and we'll immediately offer you capital that you can pay back over one to four years.

You keep all your equity.

And Nathan, I built that because I raised too much VC at my first company.

I made very little when I exited.

So Founder Path is now a debt fund where anyone listening can get money quickly.

Yeah.

And you, um, you've invested a shit-ton of money, basically, right? Like, hun- hundreds of millions of dollars.

Is it something like that?

Yeah, we...

I was just looking at the real-time dashboard today, about $270 million deployed into about 700, a little over 710 companies.

Hell yeah.

That's cool, man.

That's cool.

Um, here's where I wanna start.

So, um, I love this thing you do in your interviews where you, you kinda like share screens and, like, you get into stuff.

And, um, I wanna do this.

I, I wanna walk through, like, my understanding of your business because you, you have this, like, media model th- that rolls up, right, to ultimately the lending, and I think it's really smart.

I could be totally wrong about how it works, but I, I want your point of view of this, and I have a bunch of questions 'cause I wanna use some of this stuff for my business.

So I wanna talk to you about the purple stuff mostly, 'cause, like, I think the media part is, like, what people can use for any business.

But, like, to learn your business, like, there are these banks who you work with.

They give you, uh, a big line of credit.

This is, like, your fund that, that, that you've raised that's multiple hundreds of millions of dollars.

Your job, like, my understanding of what Founder Path is, is you're a software platform.

Like, your job is to use media to source software companies or CPG companies.

You have a couple different ICPs who want loans.
