About Recur Club

Recur Club is a fintech company that develops and operates a debt financing matching platform for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups.

Currently, the Indian debt financing market is rapidly expanding due to the rise of new companies, but inefficiency in the loan process due to information asymmetry remains a challenge. Typically, it takes about three months for a startup to secure a loan, and there are many cases where funds cannot be secured at the right time. This is because borrowers cannot fully identify and reach suitable financial institutions, while lenders also cannot quickly access the information needed for company evaluation, spending a significant amount of time on credit screening.

Recur Club solves these issues with its proprietary AI-powered platform. Founded by two co-founders from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT), the company has built a product development system that integrates high-level expertise in both finance and engineering.

Specifically, the company's AI, trained on proprietary financial data, can efficiently and automatically collect and organize information from multiple sources such as company websites and transaction data. By analyzing not only financial indicators but also business progress like customer concentration and churn rate, as well as founder evaluations, it achieves highly accurate underwriting. This provides optimal matching for both borrowers and lenders, reducing the loan process from the conventional three months to as little as five days.

ENRISSION INDIA CAPITAL will support Recur Club in its contribution to promoting corporate growth through expanded funding opportunities and the development of the financial ecosystem in India.
