Libertas Funding announced it has surpassed $5 billion in total funding in less than 10 years, a milestone the Greenwich, Connecticut-based growth capital provider framed as evidence of rising demand among small and mid-sized businesses for faster, more customized financing solutions.
The company said its pace of growth has accelerated sharply as its platform scaled. Libertas noted that while it took about five years to reach its first $1 billion in funding, it completed its most recent $1 billion expansion in under 10 months, a compression it attributed to its operating model and ability to execute at higher volume.
The milestone comes after what Libertas described as continued investment in its leadership team and capital infrastructure. Recent executive 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.
Libertas also said it recently secured a new credit facility to support further expansion as it approaches its 10-year anniversary in September 2026. Founded in 2016, the firm positions itself as combining “institutional-grade execution” with a high-touch approach for business owners seeking growth capital.
KEY QUOTES:
“We built Libertas to prove that speed and sophistication aren’t mutually exclusive. We treat business owners like partners. $5 billion in under ten years proves the market wants something better—and we deliver it.”
Gary Katcher, Founder and Executive Chairman
“Our $5 billion milestone was built in one relationship at a time by prioritizing speed, custom capital, and true partnership. Clients come back to Libertas because we deliver institutional-strength results and outcomes without losing the personal touch.”
John Paradisi, CEO
