Podcast Episode 3 : Funding the Funders

Hello friends, several of you reached out to say we shared the wrong link to our latest podcast episode. Sorry about that! Here it is. In it, Jacob Haar, Managing Partner and Cofounder at Community Investment Management (CIM) shares his journey to becoming one of the key capital allocators funding alternative capital investors. Hear him describe the cycles that new investors and lenders go through as they scale. He’ll even touch on the controversy between RBF and MCA providers, and the importance of responsible lending. Jacob and his team at CIM have provided credit facilities to some of the most important RBF and alternative capital providers in the market today. In fact, one could argue that CIM is the godfather of RBF at scale, and that without them this market would not be taking off. Disclaimer: I can personally attest to the value Jacob and his team provide to the platforms they fund, and to the critical nature of their work in helping alternative capital platforms grow. If you’re interested in raising capital, building a funding platform, or understanding the alternative capital market, tune in!
