Octane is a Fintech company whose mission is to connect people with their passions. The transaction process for large purchases such as powersports, RVs, boats, and home improvements is slow and frustrating, but Octane is changing that through automated underwriting, innovative credit products, and financing through our in-house lender Roadrunner Financial. Octane reaches millions of enthusiasts through editorial brands like Cycle World and Cycle Volta and helps consumers buy their favorite products with instant, frictionless financing on Octane.co. Octane is revolutionizing lending in under-served verticals that account for tens of billions of dollars in annual transactions. 

Octane is gaining traction quickly with customers, as evidenced by growth in originations through our platform of more than 2X year-over-year. Octane works with more than 3,500 merchants in the USA and offers promotional financing with low rates for 40 OEM brands. 

Because we’re the platform and the lender, we have both high growth and positive unit economics - rare for a fintech.

An Insider's view of Octane

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

At Octane, work and life have never felt at odds with one another. When life happens or we need a moment, there is always understanding built on trust and respect. Then at work, once the storm has passed, shared company values and goals align and motivate everyone to bring their whole selves to work.

Caroline Ho

Staff Engineer

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I have been at Octane for only a year but I have seen exponential growth in my career. The leadership at Octane has always motivated me and provided me with opportunities to present my work and given me constructive feedback to hone my skills. Octane’s culture makes employees feel valued and instills the confidence to work to their full potential.

Geetika Chawla

Dealer Risk Manager

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

To make myself accessible, I engage in 1:1s with various members of the team, have a public calendar so people can throw on a meeting if there is ever something they want to discuss, do strategy sessions several times a year, host an all-hands every month, and attend company happy hours.

Jason Guss

C.E.O.

What are some things you learned at the company?

At Octane I’ve learned that small, scrappy teams of highly motivated individuals can accomplish big things. And that world-class products require both focus and patience to build. We’re just as proud of the things we say “No” to, as we are of the products we ship that delight consumers and make life easier for recreational dealers.

Vice President & General Manager, Consumer
