Growth Coordinator

Welcome to Ned
At Ned, we’re building infrastructure so lenders innovate and grow. We’re a customer-obsessed company and excited to cultivate a team that’s dead set to create a better backbone for the economy.

Our Company
Ned’s cash flow lending platform illuminates business performance throughout the lending lifecycle, offering transparency and automation where lenders typically struggle with limited visibility into cash flow.

For businesses with strong fundamentals but lacking traditional credit, and collateral, or facing difficulties in proving creditworthiness, Ned provides a solution that enables lenders to confidently extend financing.

From top-of-funnel prospects through servicing, Ned’s white label rail integrates cash flow transparency so lenders can offer tailor-made fixed or revenue-based capital products, underwrite, and size loans with customizable cash flow scoring, and then manage against default with automated repayments and fund management.

Lenders use Ned’s white-label solution to:

• Originate and qualify new borrowers - Customizable applications, business performance verification, review and approval, and contract closing activities
• Facilitate and track lending activities - Capital disbursement, automated fixed or revenue-based repayments, loan monitoring through completion

Business owners use Ned to:

• Apply and qualify for financing - Provide business information and performance details, engage in review and approval, contract signing
• Automate repayments - Provide visibility into ongoing business performance, keep up with repayments, track overall loan performance, communicate with their lender

Where We Are Headed
This year we raised a seed round from leading investors, like Impression Ventures, Capital Eleven, Hustle Fund, Everywhere Ventures, Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, and Forum Ventures. We’re building fast to extend our white-label cash flow lending platform so lenders can deploy a suite of differentiated financial products and qualify strong businesses.
