What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that help you sharpen Dexly Finance's fundraising narrative and get it in front of specialty finance lenders, credit facility operators, and post-exit founders who can write checks or open doors. Roundtables with ISO channel veterans and MCA industry operators would accelerate your broker network faster than any outbound effort. Positioning-focused dinners with founders who've built credibility in fintech lending would help you differentiate Dexly and build the public track record ISO partners need to trust a newer funder.
