Overview
In 2013, fed-up industry experts met for breakfast at a local diner to brainstorm a new Mainstreet funding source that would exist outside of the big banking system. Mark -- a former military officer, turned Wall Street lawyer -- and Mickey -- a senior banker at one of the nation's largest banks -- knew that big banks weren't lending to Mainstreet businesses anymore.
