  • Mentor and guide junior engineers, promoting a collaborative and growth-oriented team environment

Salary benchmarks

Our take

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

SAPI provides platforms with the tools to grant and service loans to their merchants. The company facilitates merchants’ growth by building and maintaining a tailored, fully funded loan program, absorbing all the complexity and financial risks.

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). SAPI’s platform is well fitted to be a leader in the emerging embedded finance investment market.
