‘obvious’ recourse for these enterprises is to turn to banks for short-term loans. But here in the U.S., it takes 33 hours on average for an entrepreneur to apply for a single bank loan, and only one in 10 qualifies for such loans. The bottom line is that short-term capital options for SMBs are very limited in the U.S., and we at APiO plan to change that.” “Crewe Capital brought two key benefits to the table,” continued Borghetti. “First, they possess a nuanced understanding of the mechanics of our business, and second, they raised the capital through deep relationships. Their expertise and participation made the process efficient and allowed me to stay focused on my business."
With the addition of new investors who add extensive experience in artificial intelligence (AI), alternative payments, blockchain and other emerging fintech technologies, APiO is well-positioned to transform the way companies are being financed.
