💚 Nature Equity - A new asset Class Absolutely ! And that’s The Landbanking Group’s Vision. The Landbanking Group was founded in 2022 by SYSTEMIQ founder and Ex-McKinsey Senior partner Prof. Dr. Martin R. Stuchtey and serial entrepreneur Dr. Sonja Stuchtey, with a mission to improve land-use decisions hectare by hectare, every day, worldwide. With the last financial round where they secured USD 11 million, The Landbanking Group, headed up by Martin and Sonja Stuchtey, the 40 strong team launched Landler.io. A platform that links earth observation, digital in-situ data, #machinelearning and decentralised ledger technology to assess every track of the planet and gives it a natural capital account. This puts nature on the balance-sheet. As these accounts serve as an underlying for the issuance of so-called nature equity assets. Simply put: The Landler.io Platform allows Landstewards to onboard their land in a few simple steps and calculates their nature uplift and natural capital based on the dimensions of carbon and water holding capacity, #soilhealth, and #biodiversity . “If nature is critical infrastructure,” said co-founder of The Lanbanking Group Dr. Sonja Stuchtey. “We must invest in its maintenance and improvement. Our company was founded in response to that challenge: We enable asset-grade investments into nature outcomes.” At 4P CAPITAL, we are honoured to be part of such an incredible journey and support the team with our marketing and sales expertise to support their growth in these early stages. #vc #naturecapital

Happy Monday! This week's #MemberMoment features aXiom Zorn! These #FinTech pioneers are changing the game for #farmers by leveraging #data to unlock financial opportunities.

At aXiom Zorn, we are deeply touched by the positive impact our #innovations are having on the lives of farmers. It fills us with pride to see how our solutions are addressing crucial challenges and bringing about meaningful change in #agricultural communities around the country . In many regions, farmers face numerous obstacles that hinder their productivity and financial stability. From limited access to markets and financial services to the lack of reliable information and resources, the journey towards success can be incredibly challenging. Traditional methods of farming and business management often fall short in ofeting the diverse needs of modern agricultural practices. Our #digitalempowermentcard is designed to tackle these challenges head-on. By leveraging the power of digital technology, we provide farmers with a comprehensive solution that addresses their most pressing needs. Through the card, farmers gain access to a wide range of services and resources that empower them to overcome obstacles and achieve sustainable growth. One of the key features of the #digitalempowermentcard is its ability to connect farmers with markets and buyers, enabling them to sell their products more efficiently and at fair prices. By facilitating these connections, we help farmers increase their income and improve their livelihoods. Additionally, the card provides access to financial services such as mic micro-loans, and insurance, helping farmers manage risk and invest in their businesses with confidence. Moreover, the #digitalempowermentcard serves as a valuable source of information and training for farmers. Through the card's digital platform, farmers can access educational resources, and agronomic advice tailored to their specific needs. This knowledge equips them with the skills and insights necessary to optimize their farming practices and maximize their yields. By addressing these critical issues and providing practical solutions, aXiom Zorn is empowering farmers to thrive in today's digital age. We believe that by investing in the success of farmers, we can create a more sustainable and prosperous future for agricultural communities countrywide. Together, let's continue to make a positive impact and build a brighter tomorrow for farmers everywhere. #FarmersFirst #EmpoweringCommunities 🚜💻 Carol Kyazze Kakooza Kenneth Oburu Suuna Abubakari Benard.

Another year, another SFVegas! It was great to see so many familiar faces and after many back-to-back meetings and coffees, I'm looking forward to being back in the office and getting some actual work done (or at least trying to!). Here are some of my main takeaways 1) Overall sentiment across the board was extremely productive. While some areas are definitely more active than others (ABS & CLOs being busier, Resi and CRE markets remain quieter), there was certainly much more enthusiasm and a focus on resiliency and longer-term growth prospects for most stakeholders. 2) Asset Based Finance is going to be a significant growth area over the next few years. Private Credit no longer just means direct lending, as investors are increasingly looking to ABF as a way to diversity their credit exposure and as traditional lenders pull back from consumer & commercial lending, greater investment opportunities are appearing in private markets. With this comes a growing lists of competitors in the ABF space, which for hiring means greater opportunities and more limited talent pool, with demand for those with "private ABS" and "asset based debt" being extremely high currently. 3) Gen AI and alt data is beginning to play a much more influencing role within the origination, underwriting and securitization process. The general consensus is that AI isn't replacing us (at least yet!), but these developing technologies will continue to play a massive role in reducing manual work via automation, empower more informed and efficient investment and underwriting decisions and in the case of private credit, enable new structures to be generated. If you would like support with any hiring needs in your team or further insight into the current state of the market, please contact me here or at greg.mcginnigle@rcqassociates.com #SFVegas #sfvegas2024 #securitization #privatecredit #structuredfinance

💪It’s a powerful feeling to see fundamental change unfolding in front of you, and last night was witness to one of those moments. Our good friends at Codat hosted an evening dedicated to Women in Fintech, and it was amazing to see not only a big field of strong female leaders and emerging talent, but also a sizeable group of allies committed to supporting the increasing diversity of the fintech ecosystem. 📣Special shoutout to Luciana Lopes, Yasmin Desai and Ylva Oertengren for sharing their views about the market’s challenges and opportunities ahead, but all the other attendees too. For those that couldn’t be there, the insights across the group (below) were super relevant and a great showcase of #fintech focus on solving real problems with novel approaches which remain the impetus for the market’s continued growth and empowering financial inclusion.🚀 - Increasing adoption of data sharing: Greater use of #openbanking and open accounting is critical to driving better outcomes for both providers of financial services and users too, but we need to keep investing in user education and trust in the data sharing, and embed it more deeply to make it a seamless process. - Debt stacking: With so many new alt lenders, this is becoming a bigger issue, and is proving hard to solve with machine tools. Codat however is making some good strides, so props to you and your team Alex Hazlett and Nour Zahlan. - Repayment flexibility: With cashflow pressure on many borrowers at elevated levels, there’s an increasing need to build flexibility into #businessfinance repayment structures, which presents challenges not just for lenders, but their funders too. We’re going to need an integrated solution here which includes flexibility from funders to ensure the best outcomes for all parties. - Understanding your client: While much of the fintech revolution is built on machine tooling that enables faster decisioning and lower cost to serve, many #businessbanking lenders continue to maintain a high degree of manual intervention that ensures clients aren’t judged purely by machines and can have the bespoke treatment many need. 🎉Thanks again to our everyone involved, and I’m looked forward to the next event already.

The Fintech industry's transformative impact on society and financial services is undeniable. A testament to this is the "Fintech for Good Forum" hosted by Innovate Finance. Yesterday, I had the privilege of joining a panel with Hannah Gilbert, Dan Graf, and Bryony Widdup at the Innovate Finance Fintech as a Force for Good Forum in Canary Wharf. We delved into how entrepreneurs can source capital for companies genuinely revolutionising financial services and delivering impact. It is possible to have purpose and profit.. At Augmentum, while we don't label ourselves as "impact investors," our portfolio is full of companies effecting positive change, for example: Grover's sustainable circular economy model. Zopa Bank's ambitious 2025 Fintech Pledge. Anyfin's commitment to aiding consumers in debt relief. Tide's remarkable achievement of offsetting 100% of its emissions and its Supercritical Climate 100 ranking. Monese's dedication to serving overlooked customers. Wayhome 's innovative approach to financial inclusion via their gradual home ownership model. Habito's BCorp recognition. Kudos to the Innovate Finance team, Janine Hirt, and Louise Smith for orchestrating another stellar event! #fintech

Enabling Lenders to approve more New to Country applications | Consumer Credit Data | GTM Strategy | Open Banking
What could be more rewarding than an early morning breakfast meetup when it's freezing? The sessions and fintech community to be super engaging and insightful. 🚀 Last week, I attended the 'Rise and Shine' event at Rise, created by Barclays in collaboration with Woodhurst and Fintech Fringe, discussing ‘The opportunities for collaboration between Building Societies and FinTech's’. Kudos to the all event organizers on session delivery and agenda - it was top-notch. An insightful report by Woodhurt team highlighted how Modern Mutuals can innovate with fintech’s to maintain their member base and modernise their Society as they grow, all whilst retaining the critical human touch. Stefano Paoletti from Yapily on the panel shared current Open Finance use cases which the BS are utilizing: - Accept savings faster from customers by using additional payment methods powered by open banking. - Using current account transaction data for underwriting and affordability checks in the mortgage journey - Building PFM features to drive end user engagements. Enjoyed the detailed overview by James Silk on selecting the right strategy for working with Building Societies. It's about bringing the people with you in new technology implementation. It was heartening to hear Joy Joseph Abisaab & Dan Atkinson on how they've fostered a long-term, scalable partnership to drive digital adoption at Melton. In a nutshell, by the right fintech & consulting partnership and choosing to digitally transform the overall processes, Building Societies can massively scale their operation and add more value in the years to come. #fintech #credit #openfinance #risk
