00:00:00.315 --> 00:00:03.325
Welcome to the 2025 De Banked Connect in Miami.

2
00:00:03.905 --> 00:00:06.165
I'm now joined with Kane Daniels from Heron

3
00:00:06.165 --> 00:00:08.005
Data. Can I get some of these?

4
00:00:08.745 --> 00:00:10.685
Yes, you may. Oh, tell me more.

5
00:00:11.385 --> 00:00:13.805
So those are fake $100 bills,

6
00:00:13.945 --> 00:00:15.525
but there is a lot

7
00:00:15.525 --> 00:00:18.045
of value in them if you scan the QR code Oh.

8
00:00:18.545 --> 00:00:20.085
And you come onto our website

9
00:00:20.185 --> 00:00:22.045
and you kind of see how we're automating a lot

10
00:00:22.045 --> 00:00:24.445
of document heavy workflows for funders,

11
00:00:24.675 --> 00:00:27.925
helping them get offers out faster and more accurately.

12
00:00:28.905 --> 00:00:31.205
And also it's just kind of fun walking around with like,

13
00:00:31.795 --> 00:00:34.845
novelty $100 bills, gets the people going, you know?

14
00:00:35.145 --> 00:00:36.765
Of course. I mean, who doesn't want some money?

15
00:00:38.205 --> 00:00:39.445
I, I mean, that's why we're here.

16
00:00:39.795 --> 00:00:41.125
It's like, it is precisely

17
00:00:41.125 --> 00:00:44.085
because people like want quick access to working capital.

18
00:00:45.515 --> 00:00:48.765
Yeah. And so is that how the year's going

19
00:00:48.765 --> 00:00:50.005
for you? Are things moving quickly?

20
00:00:50.465 --> 00:00:52.325
Things are moving quicker for sure.

21
00:00:52.675 --> 00:00:55.925
It's, um, I mean, this is like month seven for me.

22
00:00:56.105 --> 00:00:59.005
In, in the space specifically, we're an independent,

23
00:00:59.005 --> 00:01:00.085
like software provider.

24
00:01:00.085 --> 00:01:01.645
Mm-hmm. So we're not necessarily

25
00:01:02.265 --> 00:01:05.205
giving people working capital, we're just facilitating it

26
00:01:05.265 --> 00:01:08.645
for funders to help 'em, merchants get it more quickly.

27
00:01:09.585 --> 00:01:10.925
Um, but would

28
00:01:10.925 --> 00:01:13.285
You say that's the biggest trend you're seeing for 2025,

29
00:01:13.425 --> 00:01:16.205
is how quick can we give our providers what they need?

30
00:01:16.435 --> 00:01:19.125
It's just speed. It's just chasing like the asso tote of

31
00:01:19.125 --> 00:01:20.645
how fast can we get to just like

32
00:01:20.645 --> 00:01:22.485
perfect decisioning right away.

33
00:01:22.505 --> 00:01:24.165
Mm-hmm. I'd say Heron is,

34
00:01:24.335 --> 00:01:25.685
we're, we're getting pretty close to that.

35
00:01:26.105 --> 00:01:27.525
And that's like, you know, why we're here.

36
00:01:27.825 --> 00:01:29.005
And, uh, but I feel like compared

37
00:01:29.005 --> 00:01:32.525
to when we last spoke at the, the bank show in Las Vegas.

38
00:01:32.525 --> 00:01:35.285
In Vegas, I just feel like I get it more. Yeah.

39
00:01:35.625 --> 00:01:37.245
I'm having more fun. I'm dressed up like a

40
00:01:37.245 --> 00:01:38.285
bird watcher. Yeah.

41
00:01:38.355 --> 00:01:40.565
This, this stood out to me right away. Oh,

42
00:01:41.705 --> 00:01:42.705
Yes. And you're in the

43
00:01:42.705 --> 00:01:44.125
right place for birdwatching in Florida.

44
00:01:44.965 --> 00:01:47.365
I didn't know that. I did not know that. Yeah.

45
00:01:47.385 --> 00:01:49.005
We have so many birds here. Perhaps

46
00:01:49.025 --> 00:01:51.845
You and I, after the show, we can go find like some sort

47
00:01:51.845 --> 00:01:54.125
of like stork or a seagull of some sort.

48
00:01:54.785 --> 00:01:56.245
Sounds like a plan. But

49
00:01:56.245 --> 00:01:58.565
before we do that, so who's coming to Heron Data?

50
00:01:58.665 --> 00:02:00.165
Who, who's your customer these days?

51
00:02:00.835 --> 00:02:04.525
Funders. Funders. I mean, we're here at the bank.

52
00:02:04.525 --> 00:02:07.125
Connect to meet funders. We, yeah.

53
00:02:07.705 --> 00:02:09.525
If you're a funder, we would love

54
00:02:09.525 --> 00:02:11.445
to have you and talk to you.

55
00:02:11.825 --> 00:02:14.765
That's why I'm dressed like a bird, bird watcher.

56
00:02:14.825 --> 00:02:17.205
You know, I kind of want to just be memorable. Maybe

57
00:02:17.205 --> 00:02:18.445
You have to be a thunder watcher.

58
00:02:20.805 --> 00:02:21.805
I don't think they'd like that.

59
00:02:22.915 --> 00:02:24.725
Well, we're gonna continue to make it rain here,

60
00:02:24.725 --> 00:02:26.085
so there's still more to come from Miami.
