If life was a poker game, you could say Katherine McConnell went ‘all in’ on her idea for Brighte in 2016, redrawing on her mortgage and leaving her 14-year career as an asset manager at the “Millionaire’s Factory” aka Macquarie Bank.The risk paid off.
Today Katherine is one of Australia’s most exciting entrepreneurs. In 2019, Brighte, a digital payment platform, offering zero-interest payment plans for installation of solar panels, batteries and insulation, has secured $15.5 million in Series C funding, as it prepares to make a move into Australia’s home improvement sector. In October 2019, the start-up had over 40,000 applications and 34,000 loan approvals.
Brighte is an incredible product market fit with impressive growth, but for Katherine the mission is to build a company that lasts and makes a difference.
