Dr Olga Oleinikova – CEO Persollo
Persollo is the world’s first platform for targeted social selling powered by data and AI. Olga and co-founder Kyrylo designed the platform for social media and mobile. Its single-page checkout allows click-through payments straight from any social network and through the key influencers. The platform has helped 700+ businesses across 16 countries to increase their conversion 300% from social media.
Daniel Foggo – CEO Ratesetter
RateSetter is a peer-to-peer lender connecting investors who want a better rate on their money with creditworthy borrowers who want a simple, competitive personal loan. RateSetter forged the path for peer-to-peer lending for retail investors in Australia, being the first company to be licensed by ASIC to provide peer-to-peer lending to retail investors and SMSFs. This involved working with ASIC to navigate a range of legal and regulatory issues and to play a meaningful role in establishing what we believe is a robust regulatory framework for peer-to-peer lending, where investors participate via a registered managed investment scheme.
