Two extremes I’m seeing talking to the builders in the loan space daily: 1 - Academic Extreme. Financial institutions and holdings, especially the well-established ones, tend to choose a traditional, academic path to launching the loan products, spending years in building complicated custom solutions before the product sees the world. “We could make it a great business, but the time and money investment needed to launch this loan product have been too heavy so it did not work out”. If I counted every high quality, valuable, mission-driven financing product from the customer stories that did not go live for that good-old reason, I could end up in depression :) 2 - Bootstrapping Extreme. Young fintechs tending to choose super lightweight approach and ending up with getting to market without a scalable solution or a balanced risk model. When we at Neofin solutions started with our first high-volume, established customer issuing over $1bln of loans across the corporation, our goal was to show them an alternative path for launching a new product niche. The path was a golden middle. Keeping the robustness and scalability of an academic approach, and the fast time to market of a startup. The idea was to get the product to market fast, and then develop it further iteratively. And it worked! Working on a detailed story to be shared. In the meantime, just wanted to remind you DO NOT HAVE to go for extremes with your new loan products. What you can do is choose the right lending infra that will do the job. We have recently gathered some insights with Alex Kshutashvili on how it can work in reality - https://lnkd.in/g48SWXTa #lendinginnovations #lendingautomation #loanautomation #loanorigination #loans #loanmanagement #fintechlending
