Episode 008 — Nicholas Heller, CEO of Fractal Labs

SMEs are the backbone of each country´s economy, still, they are vastly underserved by financial services. Nicholas Heller and his team at Fractal Labs are here to change that.

Welcome to #TheQuickPitch, a podcast show in which Reid Jackson sits down with entrepreneurs across Europe building awesome tech companies 🚀💥

Nicholas Heller is co-founder & CEO of Fractal Labs, a platform #startup that helps reimagine financial services for SMEs. At #TheQuickPitch he discusses with Reid about the challenges and opportunities for financial services to serve start-ups and growth companies with products they need at a different stage of growth to progress their business. There is a surprisingly big lack of understanding of depth or metrics to make good credit scoring. Due to fragmentation of the SME market, it is also very difficult for financial institutions to quantify value from those segments, understand risk and offer timely relevant services to these sectors.

SME is a broad term and very fragmented, and they all (different segments) require different levels of services whether it´s from their bank, accountant or alternative lender. Therefore they are traditionally very underserved which also is a massive opportunity for Fractal Labs.
