Just getting started...
Four years ago, I decided to venture out on my own and build what is now known as "FinTech Infrastructure".
I called up a few friends that I worked with and folks that know me in the industry and raised a few bucks to get it all started. For that, I am forever grateful.
My timing was interesting, to say the least. It was right around the time when LendingClub blew up with their issues and no Venture Capital firm in the valley wanted to do anything with FinTech, especially lending.
I explained to these respectable fintech VCs that I am building software, technology, and analytics but to no avail. Then I thought to myself, everyone else pitching this idea is probably getting turned down as well. If I just jump in a do this, a few years later, I might be the only one out there with a white-labeled, end to end, fully customizable lending operating system in the world.
The journey was tough. I burnt millions of dollars, multiple teams to get my vision fulfilled. Somedays when we ran into a nasty bug or computational issues, it's gut-wrenching. But somedays when we deliver a product to our customers, it's genuinely fulfilling. However, whatever that's thrown at us, we took these challenges head-on and never gave up.
To my co-founders and our team members, investors, partners, and our clients, we look forward to serving you for the next four years with the same dedication and care. You helped me grow personally as a first-time entrepreneur and I am forever grateful. Thank you.
