Job Location : Portage,MI, USA
Summary
We are launching a fintech platform financing small- and medium-sized enterprise receivables at scale. We are looking for an entrepreneurial and highly motivated, technical Co-Founder & CTO to head the engineering team in charge of infrastructure, development, and design.
Please note: This is not an employee opportunity at Diagram Ventures, but in a new company created through our venture studio model. This company will be independent of Diagram Ventures, and the founding team will receive the majority of the equity in the venture.
The Opportunity
Receivables financing is one of the fastest growing segments of the $35T trade finance industry. Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) lack debt funding sources to cover their working capital needs. Banks and legacy platforms have not built the tech required to scalable onboard SMEs, due to the cost involved relative to the value of capturing SME flows.
Relatedly, financiers such as private credit funds seek to deploy capital into receivables based assets but do not have the infrastructure in place to do so themselves. Funds are in search for platforms that enable them to get this exposure.
Our Receivables Finance Platform addresses these issues by integrating with SME supplier banking and ERP systems to automatically assess creditworthiness and issue credit at scale.
