Hey there,
There were discussions before here about who are the owners of Mintos and many of the loan originators. Local investigative journalists have done a piece on who is Aigars Kesenfelds. TL;DR version - Aigars is the founder of pay-day type and non-banking lending in Latvia. He created such brands as 4Finance, Mogo and is also one of the founders of Mintos. In general he has been quiet, behind the scenes kind of a guy, but very smart (used to participate in math and physics Olympics in Latvia while in school, finished one of top schools and universities in Latvia), he has been very active in business even when he was still in school, it says that his dad used to take him as a child to business meetings as well, he was a millionaire before the age of 30. Some of his partners describe him as the person who will be the first billionaire in Latvia. The article itself also establishes a timeline on how he started his businesses etc.
The article itself is in Latvian, but you can probably use google translate to get the main points: www.tvnet.lv/7171506/atrais-miljonars
