In this episode of Riding Unicorns, we’re joined by Aidan Rushby, Founder & CEO of Carmoola, a fintech company reinventing the way people buy used cars through a seamless, mobile-first car finance experience.

Aidan shares his journey from running a property rental marketplace to identifying a massive opportunity in car finance, how he validated his business model before launching, and the lessons he learned from raising over £250m in debt and equity funding.

We also dive into:

  • How Carmoola is leveraging automation and behavioral economics to create a superior lending experience
  • The challenges of building a high-growth, capital-intensive fintech
  • What it takes to scale a fully automated lending platform
  • The importance of validating key business assumptions before committing
  • The future of car finance and Carmoola’s expansion plans

This is an insightful conversation for fintech founders, investors, and anyone interested in disrupting traditional industries with technology.
