Jay, what's going on? Good, man. Good to see you, man. All right, Jay,

1
00:00:03.820 --> 00:00:05.120
so we've got Jay, Jay,

2
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:07.240
introduce yourself to the people that don't know who you are.

3
00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:10.680
Jay Victor, president and c e o of Velocity Capital Group.

4
00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:14.800
All right, Jay, so I, I've visited you in, in New York. Yeah.

5
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.400
We've talked in like every other market that we do this.

6
00:00:18.020 --> 00:00:19.400
So now we're in California.

7
00:00:20.190 --> 00:00:23.520
Talk to me about how coming here is beneficial for your business.

8
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:28.200
I mean, first of all, it's great to see all the friendly faces, um,

9
00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:33.200
but it's good to see new people in the industry and seeing it evolving,

10
00:00:33.370 --> 00:00:36.080
technology evolving. Um, and then there's just a,

11
00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:40.440
a new batch of people that we've never seen before. So a new batch of brokers,

12
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:44.000
a new batch of funders that haven't been able to come to the banked events or

13
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.840
didn't get to it yet. So now it's more of a,

14
00:00:47.620 --> 00:00:51.640
an introduction to people who haven't really been introduced,

15
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:52.960
introduced in the past. So,

16
00:00:53.660 --> 00:00:57.120
So talk to me. I mean, this year your business, you guys are growing.

17
00:00:57.220 --> 00:00:59.720
You guys have new things coming out. Um,

18
00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:02.520
how has business been this summer?

19
00:01:03.430 --> 00:01:07.880
It's been crazy. It's been nuts. I mean, we initiated, you know,

20
00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:10.680
some new software, which made us go nuts. Um,

21
00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:15.520
I think I saw you guys interviewing them before, uh, dragging guys. Uh,

22
00:01:15.830 --> 00:01:20.000
it's been spectacular. It's taken us to, I mean, two to three, four x. Um,

23
00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:22.373
on top of that,

24
00:01:22.970 --> 00:01:27.920
we've been able to just see a major influx of deals coming from

25
00:01:27.950 --> 00:01:32.640
like, like hedge funds and, and private investors and,

26
00:01:32.940 --> 00:01:35.440
and, uh, investment bankers. Uh,

27
00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:38.800
they're just unable to obtain capital for their businesses right now.

28
00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:40.240
So the banks aren't lending,

29
00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:43.320
and this is just opening up an immense opportunity for, you know,

30
00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:47.080
people in the M c A space and small business lending market that didn't

31
00:01:47.080 --> 00:01:49.280
necessarily have access to deals like this before.

32
00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:55.240
What's the highlight and what do you guys expect for the end of 2023?

33
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.280
I think it's gonna be madness. I mean, what we've been seeing,

34
00:02:01.470 --> 00:02:05.600
like, I'll give you an example. Like August of last year, for example,

35
00:02:06.260 --> 00:02:09.720
we did, let's just say 6 million, right? I just give you a number.

36
00:02:11.110 --> 00:02:16.000
This past month we did three times that. So that's August.

37
00:02:16.340 --> 00:02:19.120
That's like when people are away and they're not really,

38
00:02:19.150 --> 00:02:23.480
like kids are in camp and like they're, they're still, you know, they're,

39
00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:25.480
they're, they're on there, they're, they're, they're, uh,

40
00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:27.080
summer vacations and things of that sort.

41
00:02:27.310 --> 00:02:30.560
When you're talking going into the peak months with this type of activity,

42
00:02:31.690 --> 00:02:34.640
we're talking October, November, December, when holiday season's, Thanksgiving.

43
00:02:35.020 --> 00:02:37.960
You have New Year's, you have Christmas, you have Hanukah, you have,

44
00:02:38.180 --> 00:02:39.560
you have all of that, right?

45
00:02:40.170 --> 00:02:44.540
Black Fri all when at end of the year when they take December money for taxes,

46
00:02:44.540 --> 00:02:45.090
right?

47
00:02:45.090 --> 00:02:49.900
When you're seeing that type of volume happening like in a slow month,

48
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.660
I'm just, I'm excited to see what happens in the peak months. Really.

49
00:02:54.010 --> 00:02:57.060
Awesome. Well Jay, thanks so much for joining us, brother. Appreciate it.

50
00:02:57.140 --> 00:03:00.430
Likewise, man. Always good to see you. Always fly as usual. Thank you. You too,

51
00:03:00.430 --> 00:03:04.280
brother. So don't discount. I definitely see you in New York. Absolutely. And,

52
00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:07.320
and I like your shoes too. You take the kicks. There you go. I mean,

53
00:03:07.320 --> 00:03:11.240
I have dress shoes, so, you know. I love it though. Fresh pair of ones.

54
00:03:11.370 --> 00:03:15.120
Those are the ones, right? Yeah, yeah. There you go. Good. Oh, I love it.

55
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.200
Alright brother. See you too, man. Alright, so, hi, that's Jay from Velocity.

56
00:03:19.290 --> 00:03:22.120
We've talked to Jay in the past, uh, regarding his,

57
00:03:22.260 --> 00:03:24.560
his services and his company. And, you know,

58
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.760
you shared with us that his company's growing, his company is experiencing, uh,

59
00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:30.320
an explosion like never before.

60
00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:33.440
And that is what we've also been hearing from other people. Uh,

61
00:03:33.540 --> 00:03:35.440
and also hearing how they're,

62
00:03:35.660 --> 00:03:39.880
how coming here to California is helping their business grow and it's also

63
00:03:39.880 --> 00:03:43.680
helping their business, uh, go to the next level. So that's also exciting.
