Summary
The first rule of lending money to strangers is that it is always a little easier when you're lending out someone else's money! But if you're willing to put in some work, private credit offers HNW individuals a route to strong returns, and this is where today's guest enters the chat.
Credibur helps non-bank lenders and their institutional capital providers manage debt facilities and portfolios in a structured, automated, and transparent way.

| 0:00.0 | So that missing link between originators and lenders, that is still, as of today, |
| 0:04.6 | one in excess spreadsheets and the entire city of Luxembourg, for example, |
| 0:08.4 | just lives for that purpose of fund administration, SBB administration, |
| 0:12.6 | and a lot of legal work and calculation work done manually. |
| 0:16.6 | So it's very fascinating that you have a growing market underlying shift that pushes the market to go, |
| 0:22.4 | plus a missing piece that is not automated in a world where everything else is end-to-end, fairly automated. |
| 0:28.7 | So it was sort of very natural to start building there. |
| 0:36.9 | When we first moved to Hong Kong, we lived in this little neighborhood called Sharkey One. |
| 0:42.2 | It is on the main Hong Kong island, but two stops beyond the bubble of gentrification or westernization that makes up most of the city. |
| 0:52.1 | And our street was famous for its Cantonese food, so we had no |
| 0:55.1 | shortage of great meal options, but not too many Western influences, unless we started walking |

| 1:24.9 | If you don't know about my work in AI and forestry, check out my other podcast, |
| 1:29.0 | heightened senses. That's with an AI. And I'm speaking to Nicholas Kipp, a German founder who's |
| 1:35.3 | already done great things working in that bubbling ecosystem in Berlin and whose new project is |
| 1:40.8 | fascinating for those of us who kind of take the funding of loans for granted. |
| 1:45.8 | Welcome back to How to Lead Money to Strangers with myself, Brendan Lagrange. |
