Dr Tim Thabe is an entrepreneur, credit finance guru, and cofounder of SME lending platform, creditshelf. After nearly a decade in credit risk management with a number of global banks in Germany and Switzerland, Tim decided to take on the Kellogg-WHU Executive MBA program - which helped pave the way for his rocketfueled entrepreneurial journey. 

 

In 2015, Tim left the comforts of the banking world behind to launch creditshelf with his partners. Within four years, creditshelf became the first publicly-traded finch startup in Germany - raising over Euro 15m and growing his team to over 40 FTEs.

 

Creditshelf now serves over Euro 400 million in loan applications per year and continues to set the standard for SME financial technology in the German market.
