In this episode, I sit down with Paola Rios, our VP of Investor Relations & Syndication and employee #7, who's been with us since the early days when syndication was just ”scramble.” We dive into the art of matchmaking between borrowers who want cheap money and investors who want high returns, the plot twists that make her wish for a punching bag, and why herd mentality drives more investment decisions than you'd think. If you’ve ever invested in a deal on Percent, Paola probably had something to do with it.
