Our Story
Brickline Capital is a Brooklyn-based direct lender built on the belief that every great business deserves a financial partner who understands what it means to build something from nothing — brick by brick.
Our Founding
Brickline Capital was founded by Solomon Kamagi with a single conviction: that the businesses shaping Brooklyn's future — the restaurants, contractors, retailers, and service providers building real things in the real world — deserve access to direct, transparent, and fast business capital.
Too many of these businesses were being turned away by traditional banks or pushed toward broker networks that added friction, cost, and confusion. Brickline was founded to cut through all of that. We are a direct lender. We make our own decisions. We look at the full picture of a business, not just a credit file.
The name comes from the borough itself. Brooklyn's brownstone neighborhoods were built one brick at a time, each laid with precision by craftsmen who took pride in their work. That's the ethos we bring to every funding relationship: disciplined, precise, and built to last.
What We Stand For
We move fast, but we never cut corners. Every funding decision is made with the full weight of your business's story — its revenue, its trajectory, its character. Precision first. Speed is a byproduct of clarity.
There are no brokers between you and your lender at Brickline. You work directly with the people who make decisions. This means clearer communication, faster answers, and a partner who's genuinely accountable.
Every term, every rate, every fee — disclosed plainly before you commit to anything. We believe the strongest financial relationships are built on complete clarity. No surprises. No buried clauses. Just honest terms.
A credit score doesn't tell your story. We look at your revenue, your industry, your operational history, and your potential. Businesses that have been turned down elsewhere often find a home at Brickline.
Brooklyn built us. We're committed to building Brooklyn back. Every business we fund strengthens a neighborhood, creates employment, and contributes to the borough we call home. This isn't charity — it's conviction.
Our goal isn't a single transaction — it's a lasting financial partnership. As your business grows, your funding needs evolve. We're structured to grow with you, not to move on after a single deal.
Leadership
Solomon founded Brickline Capital to bring direct, transparent business lending to entrepreneurs who were being underserved by traditional financial institutions. With deep roots in Brooklyn's business community, he leads every client relationship with the same precision and care that defines the firm.
Our underwriting team evaluates every application with a full-picture approach — looking beyond credit scores to understand the real health and potential of your business. Fast, thorough, and decisive.
From first inquiry to funded, our advisors guide you through every step. They know our programs inside and out, and they're committed to finding the right fit for your specific business needs and goals.
Why Direct Lending Matters
Many business funding companies are actually brokers — they take your application and shop it to a network of third-party lenders, collecting fees from both sides and adding weeks to the process. Brickline Capital is different.
As a direct lender, we use our own capital to fund businesses. That means we control the entire process — the underwriting, the decision, the terms, and the disbursement. No middlemen. No mystery.
