Our take
Around 20% of U.S. venture capital poured into FinTech in 2021. Ripe for disruption, financial services like lending are also incredibly lucrative businesses. Reach Financial is part of a cohort of startups trying to reshape the lending experience for consumers in the U.S.
While many technology companies have attempted to go after this vertical, few have done so with the poise of Reach. Others have pursued flashy product features and feel-good branding. Instead, Reach has steadily built up a reputation for offering a practical, modern lending service distinguished for its customer service.
The startup also differentiates itself by its proprietary method for underwriting good borrowers based on signals that go well beyond credit scores. A major part of its focus will be refining its combination of artificial intelligence and machine learning to approve applicants who may be overlooked by other lenders.
Performing as a lender is becoming increasingly difficult in the current economic climate. Strong capabilities as an underwriter combined with a stellar reputation among borrowers should see Reach fare better than most venture-backed fintechs in this cycle.
