Key Takeaways: The Fishtail Story  Marc Held is the Co-founder and CEO of Fishtail, a Boston based fintech company that empowers freight forwarders to finance the movement and procurement of goods – for small and medium businesses (SMBs) around the world. In the podcast interview, Joe and Marc discussed Marc’s entrepreneurial journey and the founding of Fishtail. Fishtail is venture backed and already servicing and partnering with some of the biggest names in the industry.  Complexity behind global supply chains has made it incredibly challenging for financial institutions to fund purchase orders and invoices, internationally, for SMBs on a meaningful scale. The trade finance gap got even wider as a result of COVID and the supply chain disruptions that it caused. Fishtail's data-driven, scalable solution allows for freight forwarders to provide financing to their customers within minutes – either by arranging extended payment terms through the financing of freight, or by financing the goods themselves that these logistics companies are transporting. Incorporating cutting-edge machine learning research, Fishtail's trade finance automation platform turns global supply chain complexities from weakness into strength, extracting meaningful risk signals from the noise in messy supply chain and financial data.
