Hi all! Exciting times for us at Asenso, where word of our mission to make capital more accessible to small business owners seems to be spreading.First up, we’re thrilled to have been featured in this piece by American Banker. In it, journalist Miriam Cross traces the birth of Asenso to a big win at the inaugural FDIC tech sprint. During the sprint, Talino Venture Labs, Asenso’s parent company, was recognized for having the most market-ready product, and that product was the starting point for our company today. Hard to believe that was less than a year ago!Where Asenso began!Next up, we jump over to our client’s side in this feature on Next City. In the piece, Erica Sweeney shines the spotlight on our first client partner, the National Asian American Coalition, and examines how our partnership with them has led to the establishment of a new, more affordable way to procure small dollar loans. These provide a more affordable (and less risky) option than other potentially predatory alternatives, such as payday loans.We’re just getting started at Asenso, so if you believe in what we’re doing, please spread the word about our mission. Let’s work together to support small businesses!Best,Carina
