#1812 How to pivot a marketplace into a different business model

A few years ago I noticed there was a handful of companies whose goal was to help founders raise money. This angel crowdfunding idea was growing in popularity and it felt like it was going to be the future, and for some reason, it wasn’t.

Joining me today is an entrepreneur who went down that path. He found that wasn’t actually the right approach. I invited him here to find out why.

My guest is Brock Blake. He is the founder of Lendio. Lendio is a marketplace for business owners to comparison shop and get loans that they need. So they’re no longer matching entrepreneurs like you with angel investors, they are now helping you get the loan that you need.

We’ll find out why he made the change in this interview.
