We didn’t set out to build just another funding company. Emperio Capital was born out of something we both lived and experienced firsthand — the frustration of hitting a ceiling, not because of lack of effort, but because of lack of access.

Joshua’s journey started in San Juan, Puerto Rico, inspired by his grandmother who ran a candy and lunch shop from her apartment despite being on government assistance. That early exposure to grit, hustle, and resourcefulness shaped everything. From selling door-to-door to breaking into sales, and eventually launching his first online business, Joshua quickly learned that success doesn’t always come easy — and sometimes even when it does, the system isn’t built to support it.

Chase built and sold companies — including a local tech repair chain and a global trading operation serving high-level clients like the Saudi royal family. But even at scale, with product-market fit and revenue in the millions, the same problem kept showing up: capital. Or more accurately — smart, strategic, accessible capital.

When we met, we immediately recognized we had complementary strengths. Joshua had a gift for business profiling and structuring capital access; Chase had the infrastructure and scale to put it to the test. We solved real problems together — fast. And that’s when we realized this wasn’t just a one-time win. It was a repeatable model.

That’s what Emperio Capital became — a company built to solve the access problem.

We’ve seen too many great businesses fail or stall out because they couldn’t get to the funding they needed. Not because they weren’t qualified. But because they didn’t fit into a traditional box.

We built Emperio to smash those boxes.

Our mission is to help founders — whether you’re just starting or scaling — unlock capital without the red tape. We specialize in no-doc, no-collateral funding strategies, layered capital stacks, and relationship-driven funding pathways most people don’t even know exist.

Today, we helped over 1,000 business categories access the capital they need to grow — from brick-and-mortar shops to e-commerce brands, consultants, and tech startups. We’ve proven that funding isn’t just about money. It’s about clarity, timing, and the right strategy.

We’re still hands-on. We still take calls. And we’re still obsessed with solving this problem at scale — one founder at a time.

If you’re here, you’re probably building something real. We’d love the opportunity to help and encourage you to take the first step.
