Small business data is heterogenous and typically stored in silos that are not connected to each other. While some level of integration is starting to happen, getting the big picture of a small business from all these silos is challenging. But that is also changing.
My next guest on the Fintech One-on-One is Pete Lord, the CEO and Co-Founder of Codat. His company's mission is to bring all that data together to make life easier for small businesses. Codat's clients are able to access the data they need seamlessly to help them get a complete picture of each small business.
