Neal DesaiCo Founder
I'm an ex-Wall Street Trader turned entrepreneur with a passion for helping the underserved navigate the complex and often intentionally opaque financing landscape. I bring a strong sense of urgency, strategy, and data-driven decisioning to all my endeavors with an increasing appreciation of process and teamwork over individual contribution. If I had to pick one piece of advice for my younger self, it would be to put myself in a place where lightning can strike. For my current self, it is all about stacking the deck to create asymmetric return.
Currently CEO and Co-founder of Kafene, Inc. - a specialty finance and technology company transforming the way consumers think about ownership.
Previously, CFO for an asset backed consumer lender.
Experienced portfolio manager with more than 15 years of demonstrated capital markets success. Expertise in fixed income, derivatives, and risk.
