Episode 138 LendSecured with Nikita Goncars
b'In today\'s episode, we speak with Nikita Goncars, the CEO and co-founder of LendSecured. This is one of the newest lending platforms in Europe, however, it\'s worth noting that it\'s an offshoot of an existing lending business that has been operating successfully for several years.
\\n
\\nThe team has considerable experience in Latvia and they want to expand to the rest of Europe, with Germany and Spain being one of the first big markets they are targeting. We spent some time discussing their upcoming focus on agricultural loans, which both Jean and Joe found fascinating.
\\n
\\nIn this episode Nikita also shared his thoughts on why most of the lending platforms are based in the Baltic states. I found that piece of history quite interesting.
\\n
\\nI would recommend having a look at LendSecured as it might be one of the most innovative players in the space going forward. It\'s worth mentioning that LendSecured also has skin-in-the-game for every project launched.
