I foresee that there will be P2P platforms closing down because the pie isn't big enough. What makes you think your platform is going to survive?

Margins are compressing due to competition. The platforms need to be innovative in terms of origination of assets (see Capital Match’s merger with procurement platform, Sesami). But ultimately, Singapore will be too small a market and overseas expansion is the only card to then play...or become a digital bank for SMEs

P2P Lending

Why don't the P2P companies raise seed funding from venture capital or angel investors to put into the P2P loans?

I think that some see themselves as platform operators first and foremost, but I agree that the margin would appear sufficiently attractive to employ some ‘proprietary’ funds (there would also be potential informational advantages). This is probably an evolution waiting to happen with the advent of virtual banks and digital banks...
