Welcome to Almost Here, Around the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs.

Future technologies are always to transform our lives for better or worse or the focus of this podcast.

Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used.

We're just around the corner, from Bitcoin to artificial intelligence, 3D printing,

blockchain, virtual reality, and more.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Future Tech Podcast. I'm your host, Juliette Lamar.

We have with us today, Max Ayman. He is the CEO and co-founder at Centrofuge. Welcome, Max.

Hey, hi. Welcome. Thank you.

Why don't you go ahead and kick us off with explaining a little bit about Centrofuge?

Well, sure. So at Centrofuge, we're building what we call the operating system for global commerce.

And, well, I get to that in a minute what that means but it is

maybe quite helpful to understand that the background where we actually come

from so we come from the from the fintech space from the small medium business

lending space so that's what we did as a team the same founding team for the

last yeah almost 20 years and specifically the last 10 years in a company by the name of Taulya.

And what we did there, we actually helped, yeah, businesses, small, medium and large, to get access to liquidity.

And with centrifuge now for the last, yeah, almost year, we're trying to move that concept into a decentralized manner and using the blockchain

for that. And the pieces that we want to solve here is to have data sovereignty and your own

reputation on blockchain as a small and medium business so that you can then use that data ownership and

your decentralized reputation to access financial services.

Financial services as early payments on invoices, as insurances, as loans, and so on and

so forth.
