About the Company

We are a merchant cash advance provider with a focus on the fast growing Gig Economy! Come join the future!

In the last 10 years, the digitally driven “gig economy” has grown explosively. Gig Workers, or people who find short term, contract work outside of the traditional, long-term employer-employee relationship, now account for about 35 percent of the U.S. labor force, with many American gig workers taking on jobs as ride share and delivery drivers, freelancers, dog walkers, consultants, and more. While a gig position comes with many perks, workers who don’t receive a regular paycheck often find getting approved for traditional loans to be a challenge, leaving them at odds when seeking funding to expand their service offering, or simply to make ends meet.

Fundo was created after our founders realized there was a gap in the market. Most “gig workers” cannot obtain any type of financing if they don’t have superb credit, let alone financing that doesn’t require a personal guarantee or giving up equity in their business. We have created a way for the gig worker to be able get financing without creating lots of obstacles.
