Dave Girouard - Disrupting Credit Underwriting
发布时间 2022-06-27 20:44:40 来源
摘要
Dave Girouard stops by The Business Brew to discuss how Upstart is attempting to change the way credit is underwritten. Upstart uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to expand loan underwriting beyond FICO scores. The company’s goal is to make the underwriting process more efficient; creating a win-win for consumers and lenders.
Dave also talks about Upstart’s early struggles, what artificial intelligence actually does, how First Round Capital stepped up when Upstart really needed them to, and much more. We hope you enjoy the conversation.
