Sahill Poddar, CEO of Parafin, shared that "Small businesses often face barriers to financing. Parafin's goal is to help them overcome those challenges, and get them the capital they need. We're thrilled to partner with SVB and Trinity, which will expand our financial service offerings and capacity to supply sellers with fast and flexible financing to scale their businesses."
 
"Parafin is helping sellers, creators, and entrepreneurs bridge their cash flow needs, invest in their growth, and focus on what they do best: running their business," said Brian Foley, Market Manager for SVB's Warehouse and Fintech group. "SVB is proud to continue our strong relationship with Parafin and provide them with the financial solutions and advice they need to grow and help more business owners."
