Teylor

Hey Hackers! I’m and I’m the Patrick CEO @ Teylor. First of all, I’d like to say a huge thank you to the community for recognizing us as the winner of: HackerNoon Startup of the year 2021 in Zürich Reporter: What does it mean for you to win this title? HackerNoon I have been reading Hackernoon for many years, so it's a really great feeling to be recognized by a publication that I have been reading since long before I started Teylor. Also, Hackernoon is a place where many smart tech minds come together, so it’s fantastic to be recognized as a leading startup by this community. How do you or your company intend to embrace the responsibility of this title in 2022? Our goal for 2022 is to become not just Zurich’s fastest-growing startup, but Europe's fastest-growing startup. Teylor’s mission is to build the lenders of tomorrow. So building up on our 2021 successes, we aim to bring our business to the next level by scaling our existing operations but also expanding into other European markets. With that said, and in the spirit of Hackernoon, scaling is not just about getting bigger but also about getting better. We will keep building and improving our platform, adding more features, and ensuring our tech can create the change we’re looking for. What are some of the goals you’re looking forward to accomplishing in 2022? We use our lending technology to provide fast and convenient loans to SMEs and we provide it as a SaaS solution to banks to help them digitize and automate their own lending processes. In 2022, we want to keep making progress in both our lending business and our technology business. That means providing more financing to SMEs and onboarding more banks to our technology platform. Our goal in 2022 is to become the leading SME lending platform in Europe. We are also massively growing our team, so finding smart minds and people that fit with our culture will be a key focus in 2022. That’s also a shout-out to the Hackernoon community: If you want to contribute to our mission of making SME lending better and faster for those who need it the most, get in touch with us. As you look at the variety of concerning trends in the world around you, what solutions can you think of? Name three trends and three solutions. Be as brief or as detailed as you like. Three core challenges for our generation are digitization, global inclusion, and climate change. I believe that we are seeing progress on all three fronts. Digitization has become a major theme since the onset of the pandemic and that won’t change after the pandemic is over. More people work remotely from home offices, the rise of cryptocurrencies, online shopping, telemedicine, and online learning - just to name a few examples. All of these things are a huge chance for our economy and society, but they also provide challenges. It will require smart technologies, but also social and behavioral change, to steer us into the new digital era. Second is global inclusion: The world has grown together in the past decades but it seems as if it recently has also drifted apart again. Examples are the geopolitical conflicts in eastern Europe and Asia-pacific. I also believe technology can make a difference here, by connecting people, by making sure they get the right information instead of falling for false narratives. It will be a major challenge, especially for the media industry to become better at that. And the third is climate change. A lot has to be done to solve this problem, both on the technological as well as the social side. However, what makes me positive is that climate change is finally getting a lot more attention and decisions are being made in the right direction. It’s not enough, but at least there is movement. On that note, what makes me proud of Teylor is that we are contributing to all three challenges. Teylor helps make finance digital, inclusive, unbureaucratic, and reduces the CO2 footprint of the financial industry. After participating in this journey, is there anything that you would like the team to know? HackerNoon Keep doing what you do. We like your platform, we like the community spirit and we appreciate your contribution. What is something special about you or your company that you’ve rarely had the chance to properly share but really wanted to? (Give this one a proper think, I’ll know if you didn’t!) What makes Teylor truly special is the team. When you run a startup the media focus is often on the business model, the financials, and the senior management. The truth is, it's the people on the ground making it all happen. The developers creating a world-class technology platform, the salespeople putting themselves out there everyday onboarding customers. Unfortunately, in the modern media world, the people that work hard every day and are doing their jobs well get way too little appreciation. Thank you for everything that you do! – Team.

Teylor has Been Named Startup of the Year 2021 in Zürich

HackerNoon Reporter: Please tell us briefly about your background. My name is Patrick Stäuble. I am Swiss but grew up all over the world. - I was born in Holland, then moved to Colombia, Malaysia, Brunei, and Oman. I returned to Switzerland at the age of 18 and joined the Swiss military, where I completed peacekeeping missions in Kosovo. After this, I studied Economics in Zurich, started and sold my first startup, and then worked as a product manager at a Swiss mobile banking fintech, where I eventually became Head of Business Development and Sales. During that time, the idea of Teylor was born. I left my old job at the end of 2017 and launched Teylor in 2018. What's your startup called? And in a sentence or two, what does it do? Our company is called “Teylor”and we have developed a modular technology platform to build, automate, deliver and scale credit products. In other words: We are building the lenders of tomorrow. What is the origin story? At the previous job, I dealt with many banks in Germany. I quickly realized that they lack digital tools in the realm of SME financing. This was amazing to me because for the last ten years, everyone had talked about digitizing banking. But somehow, only a few institutions had focused on the SME lending segment. That’s when I decided to seize this massive opportunity and jump in headfirst. We launched the Teylor Loan Platform in 2018 with a fully automated SME loan with a German bank, and it was an immediate success. We saw the demand for automated lending not only from SMEs but also from banks, and we saw that our solution works. As several banks came to us and inquired about our technology, we expanded the Teylor loan platform to a full-fledged technology platform. We now offer modular Software-as-a-Service solutions for banks to digitize and automate their lending processes. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? Our team comes from diverse backgrounds. We have engineers that worked for technology companies or other fintech before and traditional finance people that come out of investment banking, SME finance, and consulting. It’s fascinating to see how many synergies there are between people with completely different backgrounds and how everyone really pushes towards our common goal of revolutionizing SME lending. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? I would be building another startup. To me, there is absolutely nothing else I would rather be doing. It’s what I’m good at, and it’s what I want to do. There are so many problems out there that need to be solved, and that’s why there will always be a good idea for another startup. At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your core metrics? As a technology company we mainly look at two things: First, how good is our technology and does it solve the problem we have set out to solve. Today, I can confidently say that we have the best digital lending technology in the European market. No other company has accomplished what we have. The challenge is to ensure that we remain the technology leader. Second, we run a business, and even the best technology will fail if it doesn’t sell. So it’s paramount for our growth that we can quickly onboard more banks to our platform and grow our revenues. At the moment that is going great, and our numbers have been exploding since the beginning of the year. What’s most exciting about your traction to date? There has been an enormous push for more digitization in the last two years. One reason was the pandemic, but also the need to fight climate change and to keep up with new competitors from Asia. That has played into our hands as more and more banks see the need to digitize their credit processes. What technologies are you currently most excited about and most worried about? And why? One of the fascinating technologies to me is machine learning. We just launched a  new version of our OCR tool, “FinCR'' that we use to convert financial data from annual reports into machine-readable formats. Banks and other businesses use this tool to avoid manual data entry, for example, to avoid copying and pasting financial information from annual reports to their systems. We used machine learning to improve FinCR’s accuracy, and it’s absolutely astonishing how good our tool has become in a very short time. As for the second part of your question: I’m not really worried about any technology. I’m just worried about how humans may use it. Take the example of artificial intelligence. You can use it to read financial statements, or you can use it to build intelligent weapons. I’m a fan of the first, not so much of the second. What drew you to get published on HackerNoon? What do you like most about our platform? I’ve been a long-time reader! HackerNoon is a place where bright brains discuss new technologies and innovations. Where you can say what you think without fingerpointing, on HackerNoon, you can throw your ideas out there, and the community will challenge them without judging. I think that’s great. What advice would you give to the 21-year-old version of yourself? I think I would tell myself to check out this little thing called bitcoin and invest a few dollars when it launches! What is something surprising you've learned this year that your contemporaries would benefit from knowing? I think the pandemic has shown how fragile the world is. We think we have it all figured out, and then a virus turns up and puts the world upside down. The good news is: It teaches us to be flexible, both personally and in business. That was one of the key lessons for me this year and last year. Teylor is contesting as . the startup of the year in Zurich
