The Crowd4Cash Team introduces itself: Our CFO Roger Bossard

admin Jan 27, 2020

What made you decide to jump into the Crowd4Cash adventure?

I am an entrepreneur from the heart. This emerged early on with diverse, admittedly often not very mature business ideas. Fortunately, I didn't implement them either. After a few years in large companies, I have the opportunity, but took advantage of the Crowd4Cash adventure. With my legal background and as a project manager in larger regulatory projects, I was also able to build up the know-how. Even if a lot of things don't go exactly as originally stated in the concepts, we have achieved a great deal. I'm extremely proud of that.

In your opinion, what makes Crowd4Cash unique in Switzerland?

In my view, Crowd4Cash is the most innovative crowdlending platform in Switzerland. We came onto the market as an early follower at the beginning of 2017, but from a technological point of view we have one of the best and most flexible platforms in Switzerland. The short-term loan and above all our newest product, the fully digital installment payment option Crowd4Cash Easy for SMEs, are innovative products that are unique in this form in Switzerland. This innovative strength is only possible if we have all functions, such as IT, legal, marketing, product management etc. in-house and are therefore very quick to develop.

What distinguishes your company?

The team is great and from my point of view the absolute asset of this company. As a lawyer with banking and consulting experience, I have been able to work with many great colleagues. But I think the experience of, among other things, two former members of the executive board of listed companies and also of larger financial service providers is also outstanding in Switzerland in the start-up environment. This experience together with the open feedback culture is the basis of the high flexibility of our company. This makes it possible to achieve great things every day with the limited resources of a startup.

What does your ideal crowdlending platform look like?

The ideal crowdlending platform is transparent and has a clear golden source with ideally hardly any interfaces. I worked for a long time in a traditional bank and saw how the high complexity of the systems with many interfaces and the different system and calculation logics make it almost impossible to implement technical changes quickly and cheaply. With a few external API connections, Crowd4Cash has developed a completely new application, which can handle everything in the same application, from customer onboarding, to the processing of financing, contract management and payment transactions. This means that changes can be made extremely quickly and flexibly.

Can you also invest in your company?

Yes, that is possible. Crowd4Cash is still under construction and has already invested a large amount in the development of the platform and the business. We are very well positioned, but we also need investors who want to participate in the still rapidly growing crowdlending market for further expansion and for some larger strategic projects. So far we have been self-financed and now offer the wider public the opportunity to participate in our company. If you are interested in an investment in Crowd4Cash (Crowd Solutions AG), we will be happy to assist you directly.
