Founders First Capital Partners is a San Diego-based revenue-based finance and advisory support investment platform serving underserved small businesses. The company combines an accelerator model — including educational curriculum and expert coaching — with direct funding through proprietary accelerator programs and a learning platform. Its growth methodologies aim to transition service-based businesses into $5M to $50M recurring revenue, tech-enabled companies while offering high-yield investments for fund LPs that perform like bonds but generate returns on par with equity. Founders First runs multiple cohort programs (three through the Founders Business Growth Bootcamp and four through the FastPath Funding Growth Experience) and works with hundreds of entrepreneurs each year. Over the past five years it has supported more than 400 companies and reports an average of 25% year-over-year growth among those businesses. The company is led by Founder and CEO Kim Folsom.
