Goliath is run by veterans of the leveraged finance, fintech, and commercial-credit worlds. Our underwriters have priced risk at Goldman, OnDeck, Square Capital, Brex, Bluevine, and Kabbage. We've built and sold businesses ourselves. When you talk to us, you're talking to people who understand what the money is for.
