Think big, think digital

Lending must become faster, easier, and more efficient. All this is possible with technological innovation. Just as digital tools have changed personal banking, work cultures and commerce, it will also transform corporate lending.

The theme of the future is platformization and specialization: Technology companies like Venfunds will provide the infrastructure, while banks will focus on customer relationships and financing expertise.

Patrick Stäuble founded Venfunds in 2018 in Zurich as an SME lending platform, providing a web-based loan application process. As the platform became a quick success, financial institutions became interested in our self-built technologies.

Due to the high demand we launched our Software-as-a-Service offerings, helping banks to digitize their own lending processes. The launch of our Private Debt arm and the Venfunds Debt Fund enabled us to finance loans by ourselves, offering even greater flexibility to our customers and attractive returns to debt investors.

Today, all the solutions we have created over the years together form the Venfunds Platform, a comprehensive solution for the SME lending market that serves SMEs, financial institutions and debt investors.
