Marcin has founded Kontomierz.pl, a leading Polish PFM app back in 2009. While developing and enhancing the app, Marcin has come to an understanding that there is no way a PFM can be efficient without a proper synchronisation with bank accounts. This is how Kontomatik was born.
How they describe themselves: Marketplace lending and other modern lending processes have transformed the credit origination process from a laborious, paper-intensive exercise into an elegant platform-driven endeavor supported by rich real-time data and powerful APIs. The corresponding efficiency gains have been remarkable, driving down the cost and time to fund an ever expanding variety of credit products.
But this rapid innovation at the origination stage has not been accompanied by corresponding improvements in the flow of these products through capital markets transactions such as securitizations, which remain as cumbersome as for traditional credit, thereby failing to fully embrace the opportunity enabled by improved origination.
How they describe their product/innovation: To address this gap in the innovation cycle, Ldger has built a powerful and flexible structuring and cash flow automation platform that permits investors in and originators of marketplace-originated credit to build and market customized tranches of risk exposure against marketplace credit cashflows.

How they describe themselves: LoanNow is a responsible lender with a mission to help good people get better loans. Pioneering the concept of “motivational lending,” LoanNow offers deep subprime borrowers the opportunity to reduce their cost of credit over time. This is possible through our proprietary repayment motivation algorithm that incentivizes good financial behavior. Positive behaviors, like timely payments, can unlock loan credits to lower computed APR during the loan lifecycle. Successful borrowers will also build their LoanNow score to qualify for better terms on future loans.
How they describe their product/innovation: LoanNow debuted a groundbreaking new form of loan co-signing called “Group Signing” as part of its motivational lending platform. Group Signing amplifies the traditional benefit of a co-signer by leveraging crowdsourcing technology to share the risk among a broader group of people in smaller allotments. This lowered risk profile allows LoanNow to actively pass along its own risk savings in the form of a lower APR during the loan lifecycle. Combined with other active APR reduction incentives LoanNow now offers, Group Signing has the potential to save borrowers significant amounts of money in interest payments.
