Miguel Armaza sits down with Nelson Chu, CEO/Co-Founder of Percent, a global leader in financial infrastructure solutions that brings transparency and efficiency to lenders and credit transactions. Founded in 2018, Percent has powered almost $1 billion in transaction volume and has raised equity capital from B Capital, Coinbase, 10x Capital, and many more.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How Percent aims to transform private credit markets and we explore their strategy to gain market share by expanding through adjacencies.
• The strength of private credit in the face of a market downturn and why the asset class is very recession-resilient.
• Nelson is a repeat founder and he shares lessons on how to build a culture of accountability and transparency that drives employee retention.
