Stop waiting months for a “maybe.” With The Capital Engine™, you can pull $100K–$500K in just weeks — money in your account to fuel ads, inventory, or expansion now.
We structure your business so underwriters see exactly what they want — the right entity, the right files, the right signals — and their default answer becomes yes.
We set up your payment processors in a specific way, so they not only unfreeze your funds — they practically beg you to keep doing business with them for years to come.
Imagine money that piles up as your business grows — tier after tier, stacking until you’ve got the same multi-million-dollar leverage only the wealthy 1% enjoy.
Forget the endless red tape, exhausting paperwork, and frustrating guesswork. We strategically map every move, in the right order, at the right time — so your approvals become simple, predictable, and even enjoyable… not based on luck or a gamble.
I grew up in a small Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, where I watched my parents work multiple jobs only to be shut out by banks and institutions.
At 18, I swore I’d break that cycle. A scholarship took me to the University of Colorado Denver, and by 2000 I was a junior underwriter at Wells Fargo Financial. By 2007, I was managing credit teams at Bank of America and later leading fintech partnerships.
From the outside, I had “made it.” But behind the scenes, I saw how the game was rigged:
- The wealthy 1% had access to virtually unlimited funding.
- Everyday entrepreneurs were denied again and again — not because they weren’t capable, but because they didn’t know the rules.
After 20 years inside the system, I said enough is enough. I left the banks and built a team I call The Rogue Operators — ex-underwriters, credit analysts, and fintech execs who know exactly how to make banks say yes.
Together, we created The Capital Engine™ — the same funding formula the wealthy have always used, now built for entrepreneurs like you.

"My name’s Chris Marino, I run a small logistics company out of Dallas. By the time I found Leon, I’d been turned down by Wells Fargo, Chase, and even my local credit union. That was March 2023. By April 14th, using The Capital Engine™, I had $312,000 in approvals sitting in my business account. I’ve never had banks chasing me before — now zthey are."

"Stripe froze $68,420 of my funds in September 2022. After plugging into The Capital Engine™, not only did Stripe release every dollar by October 10th, but they offered better processing rates if I stayed."

"As a first‑generation immigrant from Nigeria, every bank looked at me like I was invisible. By July 20th, I had $220,000 approved. For the first time, I feel like I’m playing the same game the wealthy play."

"I owned a small Mediterranean restaurant in Chicago for 8 years, but I could never open a second location because no bank would take me seriously. In February 2024, I started with The Capital Engine™. Within 30 days, I had $265,000 in funding approvals. By June, I signed the lease on my second restaurant — and this time, the banks actually called me to offer more credit lines."

"I had the idea and the team for a SaaS startup in Austin, but zero funding. Venture capitalists kept stringing me along, and banks wouldn’t touch me because we were pre-revenue. Leon’s system changed everything. By May 2023, I secured $340,000 in credit lines. That gave us the runway to launch, scale, and hit $50K MRR in less than 6 months. The Capital Engine™ literally turned my startup from a dream into reality."

That’s exactly why The Capital Engine™ exists. Most denials happen because applications are submitted out of order, or the business isn’t structured properly. Our system fixes that, so even entrepreneurs with prior rejections get funded.
No. Our 60‑second quiz and strategy process involve no hard credit pulls. We only move forward once you’re in the right position — protecting your score while opening doors.
Many of our clients see approvals in as little as 3 weeks. The timeline depends on your current setup, but once we apply in the right sequence, banks move quickly.
Yes. We specialize in helping both U.S. and foreign entrepreneurs. Our system sets up entities and compliance in the exact way banks require — so your background isn’t a barrier.
That’s one of our specialties. We restructure your payment processors so they not only reinstate your accounts, but actively want to keep your business.
No. Brokers “apply and pray.” The Capital Engine™ is a done-for-you funding formula — engineered by ex-underwriters and fintech execs — that systematically gets approvals banks rarely give out.
Most entrepreneurs pull between $100K–$500K in their first round. Some secure $1M+ once they’ve scaled. It depends on your business profile — but we’ll show you your range upfront.
Every online business is different, with unique strategies, structures, products, and services. Therefore, results will always vary. Your business outcomes depend on many factors specific to you — including, but not limited to, your offers, business model, execution, and market conditions. The Capital Engine™ makes no guarantees of results or future earnings.
