Thanks again for tuning into this week’s episode of PitchIt. I recently sat down with Perry Rahbar, Founder & CEO of dv01.
dv01 is a leading data intelligence platform with integrated loan-level consumer credit data and analytics that drives transparency in lending markets.
Perry talks about his time in banking and some of the lessons learned from the Global Financial Crisis; dv01 helps to solve some of the structural issues that plagued market participants back then. The insight you get from data, and its transparency allows potential issues to be caught early before they blow into a Lehman-type crisis.
Perry and I talk about his time in banking, why he decided to start dv01, the meaning behind the name, the evolution of fintech lending since starting the firm, what a recession might do to the lending markets, the acquisition by Fitch, adventures on the fundraising trail, visiting Iran, and much more.
