Unlock faster growth by optimizing your cash conversion cycle. This episode reveals how strategic supplier financing can free up capital, allowing your e-commerce business to invest in more inventory and seize growth opportunities, even with tight cash flow.
On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Peter Beckman, Co-Founder & CEO of Treyd, a Fintech startup that provides supplier financing to small and fast-growing companies that trade internationally. The company's solution enables UK and Nordic-based businesses to pay their suppliers in advance, which solves a major problem faced by many businesses that sell products but struggle to purchase enough inventory due to cash flow constraints. Peter explains that the idea for Treyd came from his own experience as an entrepreneur and his co-founder's background in Fintech and crypto. The company was incubated in an accelerator program and took around four months to go to market. The interview also covers Treyd's expansion plans, its target market, and how it differentiates itself from other Fintech startups in the same space. Peter also discusses the interest rates charged by Treyd and how they vary depending on the individual customer's needs and financial standing. And also cover Treyd’s supplier vetting process, which includes KYC and background checks on every supplier, as well as a quality inspection option for new suppliers. Finally, they emphasize the importance of optimizing cash conversion cycles for eCommerce brands, as it determines how fast they can grow. In terms of industry trends, the CEO notes that the global supply chain is starting to improve after a challenging period, and having multiple channels (D2C and wholesale) is proving to be beneficial for many eCommerce brands.----------- SPONSORS: This episode is brought to you by: Klaviyo This episode is brought to you by Klaviyo – a growth marketing platform that powers over 25,000 online businesses.
