Lo que hace Jenfi

We back growing digital businesses using revenue based financing. Many of growing businesses in Asia are highly "bankable" yet 50-70% are unable to obtain capital to grow their business. Having been business owners ourselves, we experienced firsthand the struggles of funding a business - from expensive equity options to loans that required personal guarantees. We went live in Singapore first to validate the product/market fit. We plan to expand across the APAC region.. Our sweet spot is backing repeatable business spend - expenses that leads to increased revenue. Our financing product allows businesses to keep growing with us over time. Over a third of our advances today are from repeat borrowers. We created a brand new asset class in Asia - offering flexible repayment options, such as tieing repayment with sales. Business owners LOVE this. Our automated financial technology platform ingests revenue and alternative data sources that gives us a proprietary edge in understanding the behavior of our borrowers. As we collect continuous data, we are able to offer better financial and technology solutions, while mitigating our downside risk. Funds are seamlessly deployed via our virtual Jenfi Wallet and MasterCard solution, giving borrowers flexibility to make payments while giving Jenfi real-time tracking of their spend.

Revenue-based financing for digital businesses in Asia

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We provide revenue-based financing tailored for digital businesses across Asia.

Borrowers get advances repaid flexibly, tied to their sales through our Jenfi Wallet and MasterCard, allowing real-time tracking and repayments aligned with their cash flow.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in Singapore, and after YC we plan to keep the company based here, expanding across APAC from this hub.

Singapore has a dense ecosystem of digital businesses and is an ideal place to validate our product-market fit in Asia. Its regulations and infrastructure suit fintech startups like ours, plus we have local knowledge and presence.
