Our take
Prosper is a peer-to-peer lending platform, meaning that instead of lending money itself, it connects investors with borrowers directly. When it launched in 2005 it was the first of its kind and paved the way for the now crowded peer-to-peer lending market, which includes competitors like Peerform, Upstart, Funding Circle, and Prosper’s largest rival, LendingClub.
The company provides an attractive option by cutting out the middleman and making applications faster, meaning that socially and financially rewarding investments can be made. Prosper is one of the largest and most recognized in this industry, having facilitated more than $20 billion in loans to nearly 1.5 million borrowers.
The company certainly felt the effects when the marketplace lending industry crashed in 2016, with more than $1 billion wiped from the company’s valuation. Since then, Prosper has secured new funding and continues to develop. In recent years the company has forged ties with banks to allow it to launch its home equity credit line, indicating a new direction for the company.
