New Podcast Episode: Heavy Metal & RBF with Manolo Atala, CEO of Fairplay
Happy Tuesday, friends. Today I’m excited to share the latest episode of the RBFN podcast, this time with Manolo Atala, Co-Founder & CEO of Fairplay, a revenue-based fintech lender based in Mexico. Honestly, this was one of the most fun episodes we’ve ever recorded – Manolo is a true capital entrepreneur, and brings so much energy and enthusiasm for what he’s doing that it’s hard not to have fun. And, frankly, I felt a bit simpatico with Manolo. You’ll hear more about that when you listen.
We cover so much ground in our conversation. You’ll learn:
Why 53% of clients in Latin America cite Fairplay as the first financial product in their lives. That’s an incredibly telling stat – and demonstrates a massive impact!
How LatAm’s fastest growing revenue lender launched and how it’s growing so quickly.
How Fairplay maintains a disciplined approach to credit and growth at the same time.
Manolo’s experience and lessons learned raising capital from top-notch fintech investors like QED.
How to raise equity and debt at the same time (and how to raise a massive debt facility).
Lessons learned along the way to deploying $220M in just a few years.
The impact Fairplay has been able to have in LatAm.
I have a ton of respect for what Manolo and his team are building. I hope you enjoy this and learn as much as I did. Tune in here, download, and share with your friends!
Love,
Keith
