Cole Harmonson: How to Build, Fund and Scale a Financial Business for Sustainable Growth

Cole brings significant experience in commercial finance and factoring, with DARE having funded over $6 billion in receivables and built long-term relationships with thousands of businesses. Their focus on working capital, construction factoring, and lines of credit gives Cole a strong perspective on helping businesses manage cash flow and take on larger growth opportunities.

He also has experience with factoring partnerships and technology through DARE's BRS program and proprietary NN6 platform, which could provide an interesting perspective on the evolution of factoring, risk management, and technology in commercial finance.

I think Cole's experience in factoring, working capital, construction finance, and supporting growing businesses would make for a valuable and engaging conversation.
