Co-Founder/ CEO for FinUp

Permanent employee, Full-time · Portfolio Companies

Who we are
We are one of FoundersLane portfolio companies:
FinUp is unlocking financial possibilities in the Saudi logistics market. Due to long payment cycles of up to 90+ days in the market, carriers face cash flow problems every day. This limits the vast majority of carriers in their ability to growth and in the worst case can lead to bankruptcy. FinUp addresses their cash shortages with its digital platform by offering carriers to get paid within 48 hours of a delivered shipment.
