14. Our goal is to become the global equivalent
of a small business bond market
• Access to credit remains a problem for small businesses internationally; they are
underserved by banks in almost every market
• US regional banking market = inefficient and price of credit is high for small
businesses
• Banking system in Europe = broken
• Lending to small businesses in developing markets = low sophistication
• Governments are approaching us asking how Funding Circle can be applied to their
markets
• Institutional liquidity pools will lend across geographies
