Presta’s platform is tailor-made for small businesses and commercial lenders to accelerate the loan application and determination process,” said Leopoldo Peña, CEO and Co-Founder of Presta. “The impact of Presta’s digital lending infrastructure extends far beyond bottom-line benefits for its customers and streamlines the loan origination process, empowering lenders to prioritize relationship-building.” Founded by Leopoldo Peña and Peter Truog, Presta builds on the success of the founders’ first company, The Opportunity Exchange, which helped cities connect local businesses to equity investors. Presta’s core focus is helping lenders lend to businesses more efficiently through a one-stop platform for the entire process from outreach, application, underwriting, closing, servicing, and reporting. “Recognizing the need to modernize the lending process, Presta’s platform helps community banks step into the future of digital lending,” said Shawn Ellis , Managing Partner at Distributed Ventures. “Our fund is committed to backing fintech pioneers and innovators that yield improved experiences and outcomes for financial institutions and their customers. Presta focuses on the often-overlooked segment of community banks and credit unions by bringing many of the functions they manage disparately today all together on one platform.” Lenders can generate more revenue while saving costs associated with the inefficient lending processes that they manage today. Modern businesses seek capital via technology, and Presta helps lenders meet their customers where they are by offering digital tools to build pipelines and appeal to digitally native customers. In addition, lenders can reach more customers, book more loans, and generate more interest income through the use of Presta. “Today and for far too long, the loan application process has been lengthy, manual, and ripe for disruption. We are excited to partner with Leo, Peter, and team to improve the overall experience for borrowers and bankers,” said Nasir Qadree, Founder and Managing Partner of Zeal Capital Partners. “With Presta, banks can revolutionize their credit products using automation, enhanced data and analytics to simplify and accelerate lending decisions. We believe Presta will become a critical springboard as banks continue to innovate the financial services ecosystem.”
