Lendi Group Co-founders David Hyman and Sebastian Watkins join Dexter Cousins for this special episode of Fintech Chatter Podcast.

Celebrating the 10 year anniversary of Lendi, David and Sebastian share their incredible journey of meeting after Uni and becoming serial entrepreneurs.

Lendi is Australia's fifth largest distributor of mortgages and processes an astonishing $30bn of home loans each year!

From meeting each other in their first job out of uni, borrowing money from their parents to start their first business together, to a successful exit with Living Social and then taking on Australia's Big 4 Banks in the housing market, this is a remarkable story.

David and Sebastian are two of the smartest, humblest and likeable Fintech founders you will ever meet! They intentionally keep a low profile so we are delighted to bring you this exclusive interview and glimpse into their amazing journey together.

David and Sebastian share their insights and tips on bootstrapping, raising capital and blitz scaling!

Welcome to part three of our three part Fintech Chatter series recorded live from the British Consulate in Sydney. 
Back in 2018 I began supporting the work of the UK Department of Business and Trade in their efforts to establish a UK/Aus fintech bridge.
