FactorGenie sponsored the IFA Roundtable Summit in Denver, October 13–15. The Roundtable format is different from the big conferences — small rooms, grouped by company size, where the conversation is candid and the problems are specific.

We had three minutes in each room to introduce ourselves, and then the more useful part: listening. Two themes kept coming up. Verification workloads — the daily grind of confirming loads before funding — and collections follow-up, where consistent, timely outreach is hard to staff. Those two themes are exactly where our newest AI work is focused, so the timing was good for us: automated verifications are live on the platform, and AI collections is rolling out.

Thank you to the IFA for the speaking time in every room, and to the factors who told us plainly what is and isn't working. Roundtables are where we take the best notes.
