Aidan Corbett: Wayflyer's $1.5B Fortress Facility and Scaling Lessons
Wayflyer co-founder and CEO Aidan Corbett announces a $1.5 billion forward-flow financing agreement with Fortress to deploy capital to small businesses in the UK, US, Australia and Germany. He explains how banks pulling back from SMB lending over the past decade created the opportunity, shares scaling lessons including 'run towards the fire,' argues Dublin underperforms its potential as a startup hub, and describes how AI is quietly making underwriting and new-vertical expansion faster. The segment opens with the host revealing he once cold-emailed Aidan as a BDR selling Pigment.
