How Wildcat Is Building The Craigslist Of Private Credit Onchain

Laurence Day is the CoFounder and CEO of Wildcat Labs.

In this episode, we explore how Wildcat is reinventing private credit onchain, building what Laurence calls “the Craigslist of private credit.” We explore why DeFi is ready to scale undercollateralized lending, the money multiplier effect to follow it, and how Wildcat aims to be a foundational primitive to make borrowing and lending more open, flexible, and accessible for everyone.
