Gurprit Singh Gujral, Founder and CEO of LoanTube, recently appeared on the Diary of a Founder podcast to share his journey of building one of the UK’s most transparent and inclusive fintech platforms from scratch, and without a background in technology or lending.
In this candid conversation, Gurprit reflects on the challenges and triumphs that shaped LoanTube’s evolution. From surviving the early struggles of losing half the team and surviving the COVID-19 pandemic with zero revenue, to pivoting towards a scalable API-driven business model. Originally conceptualised for a US launch, LoanTube’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and relentless focus on purpose-driven growth.
“If your startup is always on your mind, that’s not obsession. It’s love,” said Gurprit during the interview, highlighting the passion and perseverance that continue to drive LoanTube’s mission of fair and transparent lending.
