About | Haversine Funding

Founding Story

Founded in 2018, Stan Vukmer launched Haversine Funding to create an institutionalized one-stop capital solution for lenders - a single, trusted capital partner to fuel their growth. Headquartered now in Dallas, Texas, Haversine provides fast, fair, and flexible funding solutions to factors, asset-based lenders, and other specialty finance companies.

We offer senior and junior lender finance lines of credit up to $30 million, along with participation programs and select growth capital for acquisitions or buyouts. With both permanent capital and leverage lines, we deliver scalable solutions designed for every stage of a lender’s journey, from early growth to mature platforms. At Haversine, we never compete for your clients or borrowers. We only finance lenders. Our experienced team of former lenders brings deep expertise and speed to every partnership, helping you win and retain clients while managing risk.

Our Team

We partner with small and mid-size specialty finance lenders to deliver capital, expertise, and connections. From funding solutions to growth strategies, our focus is simple: helping you scale faster, manage risk, and reduce your cost of funds.

What We Offer

Haversine Funding is backed by unlevered family office 'permanent' capital, not subject to redemptions or banking restrictions, allowing us the ability to consistently fund when others cannot, especially when you need it most. We offer:

Tremendous Flexbility

Every lender is different - from growth stage to portfolio makeup. We design custom funding solutions to fit where you are today and where you want to go next, instead of forcing you into a one-size-fits-all structure. Senior and junior lines, participations, and growth capital - all under one roof - so you can access the right capital at the right time.

Network & Resources

Growth isn’t just about capital - it’s also about having the right partners and pathways to scale smarter. We bring access to our network of banking relationships, industry peers, and strategic connections. From improving your cost of funds to opening doors for expansion, we connect you with resources that help your business reach its next level.

Speed & Certainty

In specialty finance, timing is everything. When an opportunity arises, you need a capital partner who can move quickly and deliver with confidence. Our diversified capital base and streamlined underwriting allow us to execute rapidly so you can win deals, retain clients, and grow without hesitation.

Experienced, Aligned Partner

We’ve been in your shoes. Our team consists of former lenders and operators who understand the realities of running and scaling a specialty finance business. We bring decades of experience, practical insight, and true alignment - because we only fund lenders and never compete for your clients.

Why Haversine?

“Haversine” is a mathematical formula historically important to global navigation. It provides the most direct route for traveling great distances.

We believe aligning our capital, expertise, efficiency and responsiveness with strong, experienced commercial lenders helps them chart a more direct path for their success as well as their clients.

What We Offer

Capital Stability.

Backed by family office “permanent capital,” we are not dependent on leverage or exposed to redemptions. We are here for the long-term regardless of the economic environment. When you need us most, we will be beside you.

November 2018

Ability to Win and Retain Clients.

“Win” new client relationships not previously accessible due to capital or price constraints. Retain important client relationships by potentially blending your rates down, gaining a competitive advantage.

June 2016

Potential Referrals.

Potential commercial borrowers frequently approach us; however, direct stand-alone lending is not our mandate. We seek commercial lending partners with whom we can provide deal flow, as well as capital and support.

January 2016

Support and Expertise.

We understand your stress points and have clear funding solutions. Our team has experience in all areas of commercial finance, including factoring, inventory loans, asset-based lending and more. Our specialized industry knowledge can help you so you can help your clients and build your business, while we support you in the background.
