On November 27, we officially launched LenderLink with a community gathering at Uma Nota, Makati.
It was part Thanksgiving, part year-end wrap, and a chance to bring together the people behind the growing network we’re building—lenders, data partners, investors, and supporters.
The night kicked off with a short welcome and intro from our CEO Christo Georgiev, sharing how the idea for LenderLink started and where we are now:
- 12+ members on the network
- Millions of records exchanged
- Startup of the Year and Customer Experience awards at the KMC Startup Awards
We also gave a quick look into what’s coming next—including new features like Collect360 (which we introduced via a short video… featuring a very chatty yeti, generated with AI):
We also organized a fireside chat for the evening, where we invited six guests to talk about the real challenges of credit data sharing, fraud, duplication, and working with limited info.
Panelists included:
- Angel Dimitrov (Finscore)
- Liga Aizkalniete (Finbro)
- Miks Nieves (Mt. Fuji Lending)
- Ray Alimurung (Kaya Founders)
- Jolo Yulo (PJ Lhuillier)
- Julian Schumacher (OneLot)
The group shared both pain points and practical takes.
We ended the night with a toast from Christo, thanking everyone who’s supported LenderLink so far: from early partners to the folks helping us build in the background. The night was all about gathering the people behind the progress.
