Description

Company Mission

Our mission is to give the world access to the best products by empowering great businesses to reach their growth potential.

About Wayflyer

Today's SMBs need a capital provider that keeps pace with their growth ambitions. Traditional financing options are slow, cumbersome and often out of reach. That's why we built Wayflyer.

Our unique technology allows us to assess businesses in minutes, generate financing offers that reflect their growth potential and send funds in as little as 24 hours.

Since launching in April 2020, we've deployed over $5bn to thousands of businesses worldwide, backed by Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan. We've become a trusted financing partner for some amazing brands, like True Classic, Little Words Project and Kekoa Foods.

Teams at Wayflyer are truly cross-functional. You'll be collaborating with ambitious colleagues from around the world – all striving to deliver on a huge opportunity. Check out this video to hear directly from them.
