About Jenfi

💳 Growth Capital as a Service (GCaaS) — Jenfi provides growth capital via debt-financing to fast growing digital businesses across Asia. Its proprietary risk assessment tool is designed to quickly assess creditworthiness and business efficiency, enabling rapid decision making. Once accepted, Jenfi customers can access capital financing for a variety of growth activities, such as inventory purchases or digital marketing, with Jenfi customers reporting 3x average returns on investment in growth activities funded by Jenfi.

💱 Revenue-Based Financing — Jenfi uses a unique repayment model, recouping interest payments based on revenue, rather than a fixed-repayment plan. In essence, the better a borrower is doing, the faster they pay back their loan. This offers borrowers greater flexibility than traditional loans, whilst Jenfi benefits from an accelerated loan cycle, helping it quickly redeploy capital into new ventures.

🤖 Machine Learning Risk Assessment —Jenfi’s proprietary risk assessment tool is designed to provide accurate creditworthiness checks in minutes. Businesses looking for quick capital simply need to connect their marketing (e.g. google/facebook ads) and revenue (e.g. Stripe, Braintree, Shopify) data to the platform and they’ll receive an answer within 1 day — much faster than a traditional loan or other fundraising sources. Not only does Jenfi’s tool assess risk, it also predicts revenue growth, helping Jenfi allocate extra capital to the most promising businesses first. Indeed, companies backed by Jenfi grow an average of 8.1% per month (156% annualized).

Normally, these are restricted to institutions or other high-net worth individuals. Gluwa Inc provides a gateway for everyone to access these real-world assets (RWAs) opportunities through the Investor DAO.
