We already have a full team of founders for our company but we are missing 1 key person : I am looking for a co-founder for Backedinc.com who would be in charge of risk modeling and underwriting.
Backedinc.com is a peer-to-peer loan platform. It is innovating by taking into account social network data in addition of all traditional credit score inputs in order to calculate risk and loan APR.
We are looking for an individual ideally based in NY who is ready to make a name for himself or herself and shine by inventing how to use social network data for loan risk evaluation.
Is there anybody you know who would be interested in such a position in an early stage company that is well funded ?
I love this, “social network data.” Just browsing some instagram photos, counting up how many white people they know, checking for payday lender and pawn shop likes on facebook, etc. “He follows some rich people on linkedin, and it says he’s employed, what could possibly go wrong?”
We are sort of in a similar position. I have a team of founders for a $100bn hedge fund intended to never lose money. Just missing a key person who would be in charge of inventing the strategy. Most of our input would be raising some cash to set up a nice website with WordPress so people know we’re wasting resources on silly things without giving a damn about our business model.
