Since September this year, we’ve started to see strong deal flow to our marketplace and platform. We have been busy with due diligence on those deals. We hope that we can have multiple vetted great deals for our investors in the new year.
In addition, our product team has finalized their work for the white-labeled Finhaven Investment Platform. At this point, we call it WFIP internally.
