Most pregnancies last about 40 weeks. A baby born before the 37th week of gestation is known as a premature or preterm baby. In New Zealand, about 7 to 10 per cent of babies are born prematurely. And according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), each year an estimated 15 million babies are born prematurely. While medical advances have greatly improved over the years, premature birth is the most common cause of death among babies worldwide.

SINGAPORE, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ KILDE was licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore lately to raise debt capital for digital lending companies from institutional and accredited investors.
Securing a sustainable source of debt funding is a number one challenge for digital lenders. Despite the investment boom in alternatives, digital lending is too opaque and non-transparent for most investors. KILDE lifts the opaque veil offering access to an extensive range of deal-ready private debt investments. For digital lending firms, it provides flexible funding at competitive costs. Digital lenders allow underbanked consumers and SMEs to get sustainable loans and build their credit history. Transforming these loans into investable assets provides a unique market opportunity. We are here to streamline this process, said Radek Jezbera, co-founder of KILDE.
