00:00:00.070 --> 00:00:01.340
>> My name's Brian Geary [assumed spelling].

00:00:01.340 --> 00:00:07.140
I'm working OnDeck Capital now and so
the role is really business development.

00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:11.740
So it is, I came from the
banking world before OnDeck

00:00:11.740 --> 00:00:15.240
and so my role is really to
help us partner with banks.

00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:22.380
So what the company does is we're essentially
trying to power small business loans

00:00:22.380 --> 00:00:27.270
and we are kind of using data and
technology to do it and do it quickly

00:00:27.270 --> 00:00:31.900
so we can get small business customers funding
in 24 hours and we're able to just kind

00:00:31.900 --> 00:00:35.610
of serve more customers than
traditional banks are able to.

00:00:35.610 --> 00:00:39.560
We usually have a couple kind
of client pitches each week.

00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:45.110
So we either travel to, you
know, a bank location

00:00:45.110 --> 00:00:47.890
or just have kind of a more [inaudible] call.

00:00:47.890 --> 00:00:50.930
So that's usually a big piece of it.

00:00:50.930 --> 00:00:55.290
And the sales cycle usually goes, you
know we'll have an introductory call.

00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:58.960
If there's interest on their side
then we'll make an executive meeting

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:00.900
and obviously, you know, come on-site.

00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:02.930
So that's a big piece of it.

00:01:02.930 --> 00:01:07.510
The other part is just kind of figuring
out strategically what the product is

00:01:07.510 --> 00:01:11.470
that we're actually, or the solution is
that we're actually selling to banks.

00:01:11.470 --> 00:01:16.840
And so we do a lot of kind of white board
sessions and brainstorming to figure

00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:21.340
out exactly, you know, what it is
that we're trying to provide to them

00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:25.440
which is one of the coolest parts of the job.

00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:29.390
So it's, you know, every day kind of walk
in and it's like, all right let's figure

00:01:29.390 --> 00:01:30.630
out actually what we're doing here.

00:01:30.630 --> 00:01:32.410
No one's done this before.

00:01:32.410 --> 00:01:35.550
No one's kind of partnered with,
this way with banks before,

00:01:35.550 --> 00:01:38.740
so that's one of the most
interesting parts of it.
