Lenderfit: How lenders are using fintech to help small business owners succeed

Capital is king (or queen) when you’re an entrepreneur. But for the average small business owner running fast to cash often feels like running a 1500-meter hurdle rather than a 100-yard dash….in heels! And when it comes to loan products few entrepreneurs have time to engage in a lengthy and often mysterious process that might (and often does) result in a no. Transparency, anyone?

Access Ventures is taking the hassle and mystery out of the process with its new fintech platform, Lenderfit. Through an online dashboard, and a phone-friendly checklist, Lenderfit creates the transparency that small businesses crave while saving lenders time and reducing the costs associated with small business lending. Now that’s what it means to #givefirst!

>>A very special shout out to The Kauffmann Foundation, who in partnership with Access Ventures has made Lenderfit possible.

>>And as always a thank you for Please & Thank You Coffee for keeping us caffeinated!

What is 1 Million Cups? 1 Million Cups is a free national speaker series sponsored by the Kauffman Foundation designed to connect entrepreneurs to their community. The third Wednesday of each month, two early-stage startups give a 6-minute presentation about their business followed by a 20 minute Q&A from their peers. From tech startups to main street businesses, all are welcome to share the highs and lows of starting and scaling a business.

About the Kauffman Foundation
Million Cups is more than a speaker series, it is a movement. From the early days of its conception, the Kauffman Foundation has had an audacious mission: to transform economies by equipping next generation entrepreneurs with the skills to build, scale, and launch sustainable enterprises. This challenge has been met through a quality curriculum, training workshops, and national thought leadership summits, such as the EShip Summit, the Mayors Conference on Entrepreneurship, and Global Entrepreneurship Week.
