Founder-led firm achieves milestone in under a decade

Libertas Funding has crossed $5 billion in total funding in less than ten years, reinforcing its position as a leading growth capital partner for small and medium-sized businesses.

"We built Libertas to prove that speed and sophistication aren't mutually exclusive," said Gary Katcher, Founder and Executive Chairman. "We treat business owners like partners. $5 billion in under ten years proves the market wants something better—and we deliver it."

Our growth trajectory reveals a clear pattern of compounding success. While the first billion took five years, our most recent billion-dollar expansion was achieved in under ten months. This rapid compression of growth cycles validates our operational model and our ability to execute at scale.

The milestone follows significant investment in leadership and capital infrastructure. Recent appointments include John Paradisi as CEO, Randy Saluck as Vice Chairman, Jia-Ming Ten as Chief Investment Officer, Aleem Jackson, Esq. as Chief Compliance Officer, and Benjamin Armour as Chief Marketing Officer. The company also secured a new credit facility to support continued expansion as it approaches its 10-year anniversary in September 2026.

"Our $5 billion milestone was built in one relationship at a time by prioritizing speed, custom capital, and true partnership," said John Paradisi, CEO. "Clients come back to Libertas because we deliver institutional-strength results and outcomes without losing the personal touch."
