# Originator Journey

## Starting the Originator journey

AmFi values technology combined with security and speed. That's why the process of building a lending pool takes up to two weeks and guarantees that no sensitive data is exposed. Here we will walk you through the beginning of your journey with us.

**Steps**

**Getting started:** go to <https://amfi.finance/#joinus> and fill out the form with your information. We will contact you as soon as possible so we can better understand your needs and why you want to use our platform.

You will receive a form to fill out with data that will allow us to know some basic information about your operation, such as:

* Basic data about your company;
* Company presentation that will help us publicize the pool;
* Credit Policy;
* Billing Policy;
* Credit Portfolio Overview;
* Loan Tape.

Our team of experts will evaluate your operation and accept or reject it.

**“Match”:** AmFi cross-checks the information provided and finds investors with compatible characteristics to join the pool. This stage may involve negotiations between the originator and investors on the terms of the pool, making the operation more assertive for our users.

**Customization:** in this phase, you can customize all the steps and features of your pool through [AmFi Factory](broken://pages/vFnPnOoi3ekmImqYTN2F).

**Due diligence process (KYP):** AmFi checks the background of the originator and their company to ensure a secure and fraud-free environment before launching the pool.

**Signatures:** AmFi collects the signatures needed to put the information on the blockchain. Here, the representatives named in the form must sign and agree to the terms and conditions.

**Running operation:** after the signatures are collected, the smart contract starts running on-chain. Once the smart contracts are online, the pool can accept investments and begin operations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.amfi.finance/home/how-to-launch-a-pool/originator-journey.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
