Our Vision

Lend East was started by a team of former founders and operators who have firsthand experience of the drawbacks created by the scarcity of debt capital. To solve this problem, we developed Spa{r}3k, an AI-driven data research and analytics platform, to simplify investment research, risk and return benchmarking, and risk management. We want to revolutionise the way technology ventures avail credit, by increasing investor trust and transparency while minimising transaction friction — making it simpler than ever for institutional investors to invest in this upcoming asset class.
