Sarah, founder of Woven, describes her company's platform that provides working capital loans to small businesses by integrating with their accounting, banking, and payment systems. Woven uses machine learning for faster underwriting and offers flexible repayment terms tied to revenue.
“So, we're building an operating system for small businesses that gives them access to capital.”
“So, we're providing flexible working capital loans. They range anywhere from like, $5,000 to $250,000. And the repayment terms are really tied to the business's cash flow.”
“So, we make money on the interest rate that we charge for the loan. It's similar to traditional lenders, but obviously, because we've been able to reduce the underwriting costs and the operational costs, we can pass some of those savings on to the small business owner.”
