Ron Benegbi, CEO & Founder at Uplinq: Over $5 Million Raised to Transform SMB Lender’s Existing Credit Evaluation Process

Episode notes

In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Ron Benegbi, Founder & CEO at Uplinq , a credit assessment and scoring platform for small business lenders that's raised over $5 Million in funding, about why small businesses the world over have been excluded from ethical credit servicing for so long, and why bringing them into the world of financial services is a great move for everyone in these uncertain economic times. By providing empirical, data based insights to support both creditors and their clients, Uplinq facilitates smart financial decision making and ultimately long term, sustainable success. We also speak about Ron’s extensive startup experience and why Uplinq is the business in which he has found the most passion, what it’s like building a business up from nothing, and why, in business, if it’s not a win-win solution, then you’re most likely looking at both parties losing out in the long run.
