Cut your borrowing costs by up to %.With any lender.

Most businesses overpay for capital because the system wasn't designed with them in mind. We're changing that.

The real problem

The system wasn't built for founders. You can feel it.

Same paperwork. Different lender. Repeat.

Founders apply to 4, 5, sometimes 8 lenders — uploading the same documents, answering the same questions, waiting weeks for a maybe. All while running a business that doesn’t pause for loan applications.

Too many options, none of them clear

MCAs, revenue-based loans, factoring, PO financing, lines of credit — each with its own stacked rates, undisclosed commissions, and vague approval criteria. The less you understand, the higher the cost.

Treated like a product, not a partner

Aggressive sales tactics. Data you didn’t consent to share. Brokers who trade your information. Many founders describe an “allergic reaction” to the lending experience.

The frustrations that inspired Laminar.

★★★★★

“I had an allergic reaction to every lender that cold-called me. What I actually wanted was a partner who understood my supply chain — not someone trying to close a deal.”

“One lender quoted me a factor rate. Another gave me an APR. A third used a weekly repayment structure. I had no way to compare what I was actually paying.”

“We were extremely reluctant to connect our banking APIs. The idea of our financial data being shared around without our control was a non-starter.”

“I kept getting told I was pre-approved, only to find out the real terms were nothing like what was advertised. The whole process felt designed to waste my time.”

“Every broker I talked to was just shopping my data around to get the best commission for themselves. I never felt like anyone was actually on my side.”

“I didn’t need ten options. I needed one good one I could actually understand and trust. That shouldn’t be this hard.”
