Our take
Not only is trust in large financial institutions at an all-time low, but traditional banks also lack flexibility. And a new financing method, lending as an embedded tool, greatly benefits SMEs, but it is underdeveloped and under-utilised.

The company is backed by several famous angels, unicorn founder-turned-investors, and many of London’s top venture funds (including Pareto Holdings, Nadav Ben-Chanoch, Jon Oringer, and Edward Lando).
