Owner & Founder
Golden Capital
Josh Power didn’t set out to disrupt equipment finance, but he’s doing exactly that. As the founder of Golden Capital, a third-party origination firm based in Overland Park, KS, Power has built a business around simplifying lending and making capital more accessible.
“My goal has always been to help companies secure the funding they need to grow,” he says. “That means cutting through the red tape and offering flexible, real-world solutions.”
Power’s company specializes in asset-based lending, with a focus on yellow iron and non-titled equipment. “After graduating from the University of Kansas, I saw an opportunity to build something different — a firm that could be fast, adaptable and truly client-focused.”
Golden Capital has expanded across the U.S. and Canada under his leadership. Power’s ambition is to grow the company to finance $100 million annually, a goal he’s pursuing with a strategy rooted in transparency and customer success.
He sees rising interest rates and economic uncertainty as real challenges, but he’s optimistic. “The biggest opportunity lies in using technology to make financing faster and smarter,” Power says. He’s especially bullish on AI-driven underwriting and the rise of alternative lending platforms.
To bring new talent into the industry, Power believes the image of equipment finance needs an overhaul. “Young professionals want innovation and flexibility. We need to show them that this space can offer both.”
For Power, the mission is clear: make financing work for the businesses that need it — not the other way around.
“Equipment finance should be fast, simple and accessible. The industry needs to prioritize client experience and remove unnecessary hurdles to ensure businesses can focus on growth instead of jumping through hoops.”
