AI-driven B2B digital lending platform QuickFi won “Best in Show” during the Tech Demo Challenge at Equipment Finance Connect 2025 on May 15.
The Fairport, N.Y.-based QuickFi, founded in 2018, demonstrated its embedded lending platform in competition with eight other equipment dealer and lender tech companies during Equipment Finance Connect 2025 in Nashville, Tenn.
Chief Experience Officer Nate Gibbons and Vice President of Process and Automation Jillian Munson showed off the capabilities of QuickFi’s platform during the event. The challenge was judged by Scott Nelson, president and chief technology officer, of Tamarack Techology and Royal Media founder and CEO JJ Hornblass.
During the final judging, Gibbons discussed the company’s goals for its platform, including keeping costs low as technology evolves.
“When you think about traditional software platforms, one of the challenges can be that, as the software improves and new capabilities and advising features are added, it can sometimes become more expensive to the borrower,” he said.
“As technology evolves with AI and other capabilities, it actually allows us … to keep bringing the costs to the customers, the OEMs and the banks that are using our platform, down further.
QuickFi and Alberta, Canada-based Vi by visorPRO were selected as the two demo finalists after an initial round of demonstrations and audience judging. Representatives of the fintechs were questioned by judges’ last names before another audience vote determined the winner.
Also participating in the Tech Demo were:
- Flyntlok,
- Fundica,
- Kaaj,
- LeadX,
- Multimodal,
- Northteq and
- SAVVI AI.
Equipment Finance Connect’s Tech Demo Challenge was launched at the event to provide cutting-edge fintech providers with an opportunity to demonstrate their innovations for the industry and for attendees to learn about the latest technology.
