Fund Friday E79: How a Career in Real Estate Led to a Startup in Lending with Gil Murillo
In this episode, Craig McGrouther sits down with Gil Murillo, co-founder and CEO of KUDO Funding, to talk about his journey from managing billions in hotel assets to launching a platform that provides fast, short-term loans to small businesses.
They break down how KUDO sources deals, protects downside risk, and delivers short-duration income for investors looking to diversify. Gil also shares how his background at Columbia and in private equity shaped the way he underwrites opportunities in the private credit space.
This is a must-listen if you're looking to generate yield with a more flexible, institutional-quality approach to alternative lending.
