Private Credit Under Stress: Averting the Next Crisis with AI and Data Visibility with Scott Weller

In this episode, host Boris Agranovich talks with Scott Weller, CTO and co‑founder of EnFi, about the hidden risks in private credit and how AI‑driven data visibility can prevent a next‑generation crisis. Weller explains that most risk signals are trapped in disparate documents, leading to slow, fragmented assessments, and illustrates the problem with a borrower exposed across multiple BDC portfolios that no single fund could see. He describes EnFi’s platform, which uses modern AI automation to extract, consolidate, and continuously monitor financial data, creating a private‑credit stress index akin to a VIX. The conversation also touches on concurrent stressors—AI disruption, geopolitical shocks, and interest‑rate volatility—and why faster, unified analytics are essential for fund managers and banks.
