You asked for $200K.
Here’s what it really costs.

Most founders have no idea how much of their borrowing cost goes to wasted acquisition spend, intermediary commissions, and a system designed to be opaque. We’re breaking it down.

Today’s System

$41,000

Total cost on a $200K loan. $10K in acquisition waste, opaque pricing, origination fees, and manual processing add up to 20.5% of your capital — and you can’t see any of it.

With Laminar

$29,500

Same $200K. Transparent pricing. Pre-qualified leads mean lenders spend a fraction to reach you — and pass those savings on.

How We Cut The Fat

We’re not just building a platform.
We’re re-engineering the cost structure.

Every dollar of unnecessary cost is a dollar that should be working for your business, not absorbed by an inefficient system.

Kill pricing opacity

Every offer is normalized — APR, factor rate, weekly repayment all translated into comparable terms. When you can actually compare, lenders can't hide behind confusing structures.

Pre-qualify before matching

Laminar screens and qualifies your business before sending your profile to lenders. They only see leads that match their criteria — no wasted time processing applications that don't fit. That efficiency gets passed on to you.

Saves ~$3,000 on a $200K loan

One profile, every lender

Build your data room once and apply to every lender simultaneously. No more uploading the same documents 8 times or filling out repetitive applications. Your time is worth more than that.

Saves dozens of hours per funding cycle

Cut $10K in acquisition waste

Lenders spend $10,000 on average to acquire a single customer — paying broker commissions, running marketing campaigns, and processing leads that don’t qualify or need a different product entirely. Laminar pre-qualifies and product-matches every founder before they reach a lender, so lenders stop burning money on dead ends. When their cost to acquire you drops, the savings get passed on in your rate.

Our Mission

Every founder deserves capital that costs less.

The current system wasn’t designed to be expensive — it just evolved that way. Manual processes, fragmented data, and a lack of transparency have compounded into costs that every founder absorbs. We’re re-engineering it from the ground up, one inefficiency at a time.
