Meriwether Group Capital

Meriwether Group Capital is a nonbank lender offering private credit to small- and mid-sized businesses through its Hero Fund — a vehicle built specifically for growth-stage companies that don't fit traditional bank criteria. Products include term loans and mezzanine capital up to $5 million, with no minimum credit score or time-in-business requirement, though a minimum monthly revenue of $100,000 applies. The fund draws institutional backing from the State of Oregon and a strategic partnership with First Fed, signaling meaningful credibility for a private credit vehicle of this size. Borrowers describe flexible, customized structures suited to their stage of growth. Primary focus appears to be the Pacific Northwest, though the fund operates across the United States. A strong fit if you need growth debt and have been turned away by conventional lenders.
