Get ready for an exciting episode of "The Angel" podcast as we sit down with the talented Nelson Chu, Founder and CEO of Percent! If you're into fintech, you won't want to miss this.

Nelson has been making waves in the industry, having previously hosted a Fintech podcast at Wharton. In this episode, he spills the beans on how he accidentally stumbled upon the idea for Percent, a company that simplifies the loan process for a specific market by eliminating the need for Excel, phone calls, and emails.

What's more, Nelson shares his insights on the private debt market versus the general debt market, and how this impacts his business. He also sheds light on the differences between non-bank and bank lenders, giving us an inside look at the nitty-gritty details of the industry.

But that's not all! Nelson reveals an incredible fact about building his company that will leave you stunned. For the first four years, he had to create one side of the market, which involved a whopping 400 deals totaling an unbelievable $1.2 billion. Talk about dedication!

Before founding Percent, Nelson was a strategy consultant who specialized in helping companies raise capital and build products, generating over $1 billion in equity value. And he doesn't stop there. As an active angel investor, he has made successful investments in various startups such as BlockFi, Care/Of (Acq: Bayer AG), Clover Health (NAS: CLOV), dv01, Eden Health, Plentina, Tala, and Uala.

With his wealth of experience in finance and entrepreneurship, Nelson Chu is definitely a hot podcast talent to watch out for, and this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in fintech and investment.

Guest Adam Medros, Dartmouth ’96, was had taken a gap year in Germany before college, reading and thinking and trying to figure out who he was. An economics major who worked in the library at Tuck School of Business, he was introduced to the world of strategy consulting and ending up being one of the rare few who sought out that career path intentionally. A job interview during a basement pong game sealed the deal and set him off on the consulting route.

When he finally got into industry, early at Amazon, he realized that the way consultants leveraged power to get things done wasn’t how it worked internally. People skills were the coin of the realm. He also learned what he liked about making impact in a company that was ultimately trying to change an industry. That theme of industry disruption led him next to Trip Advisor where he helped create a new way to think about travel. Next, he approached the education sector by working as COO at EdX, the academic non-profit that considers how online course delivery and credentialing could change the way people are educated around the world. Upon the organization’s sale to a for-profit company, he took his next leap to a start-up that is creating a niche in pet genomics and shaking up the pet healthcare industry. In this episode, find out from Adam how having opinions and holding them lightly, all while wanting to change the world, can be a path to success …on ROADS TAKEN...with Leslie Jennings Rowley.
