Fvndit, pronounced as ‘Fund It’, is backed by Vemanti Group, a US-based diversified holding company. The company announced that it will use the acquired money for its peer-to-peer (P2P) lending marketplace eLoan JSC (eLoan). The fintech firm plans to solidify and propel its business model to become the market-leading SME-focused funding platform in Vietnam, according to an official statement highlighted on Deal Street Asia. Ho Chi Minh City-based eLoan that is entirely owned by Fvndit enables investors to lend money directly to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Backed by Investree, Indonesia’s SME-focused lending firm, it alleges to be the first P2P lending company and one of the few Vietnamese fintech firms focusing on just SME clients with short-term loans. Tan Tran, CEO of Vemanti Group and Fvndit said: The Fvndit team consists of designers, engineers, data scientists, together with banking and trade finance veterans. They are based in two locations: Ho Chi Minh City and Irvine, California. Notably, the firm confirmed that it uses technology to restructure core parts of the business funding model. That restructuring makes the underwriting and financing procedure straightforward and easy for small businesses.
