Hiroki Takeuchi, the co-founder and CEO of GoCardless started in 2011. GoCardless is a star of the blossoming UK FinTech scene- last valued at $2.1b, the business is on a mission to take the pain out of payments for businesses of all shapes and sizes – from your local gym collecting monthly membership right through to the Uk's biggest utility companies. Payment collection is a problem as old as time, and in creating a global bank debit network to rival the card networks like Visa and Mastercard , it is also an incredibly complex ecosystem to navigate and operate in. But Go Cardless has seen tremendous success – it currently processes over $35b in payments annually from close to 100,000 customers. Aside from regulatory complexity that is only heightened when you throw cross border payments into the mix, the challenge of scaling a business that form day one has had such a variety of customer shapes and sizes gives rise to some wonderful lessons for operators. Hiroki's personal story is incredibly inspiring. The founder's journey always involves a level of grit and determination to overcome adversity, but Hiroki takes it to a new level; five years into the Go Cardless journey, a bike accident resulted in a spinal cord injury. If anything, it gave him a him a perspective on life and leadership that has enabled Go Cardless to flourish like it has. Show Notes: (02:12): Founding Story (06:45): Why direct debit?

Bridging is a short-term method which has raised numerous doubts on costs and how it works... Thankfully, we have Peter from Lendinvest, a multi award winning company offering short-term, development and buy to let mortgages to intermediaries, landlords and developers across the UK, who is going to break down how it works, when bridging is typically used, and the costs associated. LendInvest have been running since 2008, have lent over £3 billion of mortgages, yes billion! They have also helped put thousands of new or improved homes into the UK housing market. Today, Lendinvest funders and investors include pension funds, insurers and global institutions like HSBC, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup and National Australia Bank. And in 2019 became the first UK Fintech to securitise a portfolio of buy-to-let mortgage.

Pave is on a mission to improve access to credit for millions of people by building the world's best credit builder. They already have close to 500,000 registered users and are helping their members improve their credit health. But I wanted to learn more about the company's story, and this is where things got interesting. Co-Founder and CEO Sho Sugihara spent the first half of his life in Japan. He started his career working for The Big Issue to help the homeless by delivering magazines to newspaper vendors. Then, at 18, he went to Brazil to work for an NGO, helping underprivileged families keep their children in school through a state-sponsored microfinance and daycare program. These experiences opened his eyes to the power of financial inclusion. After university, he worked at McKinsey for three years to save up cash to finally start his own business before leaving to co-found Pave out of Entrepreneur First in 2017. Fast forward to 2022, we're seeing extreme income volatility and an unprecedented surge in energy prices and living costs. In times like these, Sho believes there are new opportunities to help consumers and businesses. As a result, they launched Fuse, a credit analytics B2B service that helps businesses make better lending decisions using our state-of-the-art analytics capabilities. Combining Open Banking data, Credit File data, and tangible outcomes data, the company can help enterprises to make the best affordability decisions with powerful insights. I invited Sho on the podcast to share his inspiring story and how it led to two products aimed at helping Pave solve the inefficiencies they see in the credit system faster and at a critical time.
