Coast Funding – Best Places to Work 2025
We’re thrilled to share that Coast Funding has been named to the San Diego Business Journal’s (SDBJ) 2025 Best Places to Work list. This recognition celebrates workplaces across the region that put people first – fostering trust, belonging, and meaningful growth for every team member.
“This honor belongs to our entire team. The culture at Coast Funding is built every day by people who show up with integrity, curiosity, and a desire to succeed,” -Matt Price, CEO.
What this award means
The SDBJ Best Places to Work program highlights organizations that exemplify employee engagement and workplace excellence. While the Journal oversees the program, the results are driven by confidential employee feedback combined with a review of company policies and practices. Making the list signals that we’re on the right path, and reminds us to keep raising the bar.
How we build a great place to work
We believe the best ideas emerge when people feel safe to speak up, are encouraged to grow, and feel connected to a shared mission. Here are a few ways we bring that to life:
People-first leadership: Managers receive coaching and tools to support career development and inclusive decision-making.
Growth & learning: Resources for personal study and self improvement, one on one mentorships, and considerable investment in employees’ success.
Flexibility that works: A commitment to work-life balance, generous PTO, and the autonomy to pursue excellence.
Total rewards that matter: Competitive compensation, employer-sponsored health benefits, and company 401(k) matching.
Community & connection: Quarterly activities, group volunteering, and charitable donations to local San Diego organizations.
What’s next
Awards don’t define our culture, our daily habits do. As we grow, we’ll continue investing in:
Career mobility with clear pathways and internal opportunities
Manager excellence through ongoing coaching and feedback
Inclusive practices that help every teammate thrive
Well-being with flexible work, mental health resources, and time to recharge
