1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.665
Brian Kandinov: We're Fundfi,
we're actually an MCA funder in

2
00:00:02.724 --> 00:00:06.574
the BNC space. This is our first
time sponsor here with deBanked.

3
00:00:06.633 --> 00:00:10.127
We've participated with them
before, had some feedback from

4
00:00:10.186 --> 00:00:13.917
the funder side. So we're happy
to be here. And just to get our

5
00:00:13.977 --> 00:00:16.820
name around and hopefully do
some more business.

6
00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:19.251
Johny Fernandez: So go ahead and
kind of walk me through what you

7
00:00:19.297 --> 00:00:22.099
expect out of coming here to
Miami, meeting everyone here in

8
00:00:22.146 --> 00:00:22.800
South Florida.

9
00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:24.951
Brian Kandinov: So all of us,
especially in the tech

10
00:00:25.002 --> 00:00:28.037
environment, we email we call
each other but sometimes it's

11
00:00:28.088 --> 00:00:31.431
good to put the faces behind who
you're actually working with, or

12
00:00:31.482 --> 00:00:34.208
just get a little better
acquainted, since everyone's

13
00:00:34.260 --> 00:00:37.448
pretty spread out. It's always
good to meet your colleagues or

14
00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:40.585
either Alma funder. So they're
side by side all the time. So

15
00:00:40.637 --> 00:00:43.671
it's good to meet your other
funders in the space, even the

16
00:00:43.722 --> 00:00:46.757
some of the collection guys or
the AI guys. So I think this

17
00:00:46.808 --> 00:00:49.945
encompasses every facet of the
industry. So it's great to see

18
00:00:49.997 --> 00:00:52.620
what's new, and just to meet
people, relationships.

19
00:00:52.620 --> 00:00:54.567
Johny Fernandez: Go ahead and
talk to me about how business

20
00:00:54.613 --> 00:00:55.680
has been since January.

21
00:00:56.220 --> 00:00:58.512
Brian Kandinov: It's been very
busy. I've been in this space

22
00:00:58.564 --> 00:01:01.743
for a while my January was at
the busiest that I ever had it.

23
00:01:01.795 --> 00:01:04.765
So I think the industry is
growing. I see a lot new names

24
00:01:04.818 --> 00:01:07.736
popping up as well as the
regulars. So I just think that

25
00:01:07.788 --> 00:01:10.966
means the business as a whole is
growing and maybe that's why

26
00:01:11.019 --> 00:01:14.249
some of the previous times after
New Year's something it was a

27
00:01:14.301 --> 00:01:17.220
little more quieter. It's
actually growing pretty heavy.
