About ✯ Nathan Paul
I have 25 years of experience in the technology and financial sectors and have built a strong reputation for driving growth.
I co-founded the successful fintech lending startup fulfin, building an exceptional team which developed a innovative underwriting technology, and established a thriving business serving thousands of B2B clients, while raising over €20 million in equity, debt, and subsidies along the way.
I have worked for and advised numerous successful startups, leveraging my expertise in scaling businesses and delivering customer-centric solutions.
I'm now working with a fantastic technically gifted cofounder on something in the TrustTech domain that is truly groundbreaking and has the potential to scale across continents.
