Embedded finance offers a chance for fintech firms, vertical SaaS companies, and marketplaces to drive revenue growth and build a sticky offering.  Always strapped for cash and with their owners juggling multiple responsibilities at once, small businesses increasingly adopt vertical SaaS platforms to run their operations, the demand for integrated banking, payments, and lending solutions continues to accelerate.   For firms that can successfully navigate this landscape, embedded finance offers a powerful pathway to differentiation in an increasingly competitive market while addressing the critical financial needs that traditional institutions have struggled to meet effectively. On the show today, I am joined by three leaders in the space sharing insights into what it takes to succeed: Yoseph West, Co-founder and CEO of Relay which is a digital business banking platform serving SMBs, Sol Lax, CEO of Revenued, a leader in revenued-based financing and  Caleb Avery, founder and CEO of Tilled, a modern embedded payments provider for software companies Tune in to hear us plot the market shift from embedded payments to lending, underwriting challenges for thin-file customers, and strategic partnership models that create comprehensive solutions for small businesses.  In this episode we will examine two case studies: how  Relay and Tilled are implementing embedded lending in their platforms through their work Revenued and sketch out a plan for fintechs that want to mature their embedded finance offerings to offer sophisticated products like lending and working capital to their SMB customers. If you're a platform serving SMBs, embedded lending isn't just a feature – it's a way to make your product indispensable.  As customers look for financial solutions that meet them where they are, platforms that deliver seamless, flexible capital access will win. This episode is a must-listen for any SaaS, fintech, or ma

We explore why bitcoin is pristine collateral, how interest rates in this market may evolve, and why re-hypothecation risk matters. Jon explains how collaborative custody transforms the borrowing experience and outlines the future of institutional credit on a bitcoin standard. We also discuss why the regulatory tide in America has turned—and what that unlocks for bitcoin's next wave.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Read Joe Burnett's new report, Repricing the Economy in Bitcoin: https://www.unchained.com/go/repricing-the-economy-in-bitcoin?utm_campaign=strivereport&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=tbf&utm_content=youtubeTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro4:45 - Conviction through doing the work10:07 - Managing $1.5b in bitcoin loans with zero losses16:08 - What Wall Street still doesn't understand about bitcoin20:11 - Why bitcoin embodies American values26:27 - How interest rates might evolve in bitcoin lending30:12 - Why Unchained never rehypothecates your bitcoin36:22 - How big will bitcoin lending get in 10 years41:10 - What unlocks the next wave of bitcoin credit markets46:25 - The biggest risk to bitcoinWHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Jon Melton's Twitter: https://x.com/jmelton21mm

Goodbye Postcode Restrictions ... & Hello Distance Restrictions! Big changes (again) are reshaping NDIS lending landscape, and in this episode, Debbie sits down with Paul Grant from Axis Lending to unpack the latest finance requirements for NDIS property investing, from their perspective as a Mortgage Manager.This episode only relates to Origin, the largest wholesale NDIS lender across Australia, and this information discussed doesn't apply to other lenders in this SDA space.Late last year in 2024 we saw significant tightening of eligibility criteria, including new income thresholds ($250K+ household income or $2.5M+ net assets for "sophisticated investors") and geographic restrictions. But as of this week (23rd June 2025), the rules have evolved again - with major implications for investors and participants alike.Key changes include:✔️ Postcode restrictions replaced by distance-based rules (50km from Sydney CBD, 25km from other capitals)✔️ Lending based on 100% alternate use value in major cities (80% in larger regional centres)✔️ Stronger focus on owner-occupiers and families, who may now qualify for better terms - possibly even standard home loans✔️ Stricter SMSF requirements, including mandatory upfront Statements of Financial Advice✔️ Compulsory Due Diligence reports for all purchasesWhy does this all matter? These changes reflect a maturing market - one that prioritises sustainable investments while ensuring quality housing for participants. While investor activity has slowed, the focus on sophisticated buyers and owner-occupiers points to a more stable future. Tune in as Debbie and Paul discuss in detail the new lending rules.If anyone wants to reach out to Paul Grant directly, his email address is as follows: pgrant@axislending.com.auOtherwise click here to review the Axis Lending website, -------------------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveSend us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

Ilya Kravtsov, Co-Founder of Ringkas, joins Jeremy Au to unpack the rise and fall of Indonesia's lending wave, the ripple effects of the eFishery scandal, and the hard lessons founders must absorb to build sustainable startups. They examine how early hype misaligned business models, how fraud damages more than just a company, and why radical transparency is key to long-term leadership. Ilya shares how Ringkas scaled without lending, why developer partnerships unlocked bank adoption, and how he carefully built a diversified cap table to preserve founder control. 03:00 Indonesia's VC ecosystem matured: In 2012, only three VCs wrote 20,000 dollar checks and most people used BlackBerrys. By 2021, founders raised 5 million dollar pre-seeds with no product.  05:24 Lending distorted metrics: Startups wrongly recorded loan disbursements as revenue and used inflated valuation multiples on their loan books. 08:27 Growth hacks vs. fraud: Ilya draws the line at legality and disclosure. He says growth hacks are common and acceptable only if transparent. 13:32 Ecosystem fallout from eFishery: Ilya dismisses the defense that fraud was standard practice. He says many founders now face reputational damage, blocked financing, and collateral damage from one high-profile failure. 14:10 Ringkas avoided lending: Rather than lend directly, Ringkas built infrastructure between banks and developers. 17:38 Banks adopted due to volume: Traditional banks opened up to Ringkas under pressure from digital banks and low mortgage penetration.  20:41 Cap table strategy: Ilya capped investor ownership below 10 percent, preferring a wide base of angel and neutral investors.  Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://www.bravesea.com/blog/ilya-kravtsov-truth-over-hype Get transcripts, startup resources & community discussions at www.bravesea.com WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea English: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Bahasa Indonesia: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Chinese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Vietnamese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts
