And I’m building on that today, with Anzhelika Osmanova, founder of Lendwill, a community-first P2P platform coming to us out of Norway. </p><br><p><br></p><p>You can read more about Lendwill, right where you’d expect to, <a href="https://lendwill.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lendwill.com/</a> (worth the click for the design touches alone) but both Lika and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/lendwill/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lendwill can be found on LinkedIn, too</a>.</p><br><p><br></p><p>During our chat, Lika raised issues around cross-border credit scores also covered by <a href="https://www.howtolendmoneytostrangers.show/episodes/episode-11" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Misha Espiov</a> and <a href="https://www.howtolendmoneytostrangers.show/episodes/episode-43" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ash Bhatt</a> on this same show, so you can click those links if that’s your area of interest.</p><br><p><br></p><p>You can learn more about myself, Brendan le Grange, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanlegrange/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on my LinkedIn page</a> (feel free to connect). <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/how-to-lend-money-to-strangers/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The show has its own page there</a>, too, and is also present, but less active, on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/htlmts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram </a>and <a href="https://twitter.com/HTLMTS" rel="noopener noreferrer" t
