Investor Executive
2010
Since our founding in 2007, we have transformed the banking industry by bringing a traditional credit product - the installment loan - online and we’ve been on the fast track ever since. We are one of the first fintechs to acquire a national bank charter, which has transformed our business economics and introduced all new capabilities, and now others are following our lead, validating the strength of our model. We are one of America’s largest providers of unsecured personal loans, originating more than $100 billion in loans to our more than 5 million high-FICO, high-income members and helping them save millions on their cost of credit. And we’re just getting started. A Culture that Delivers Impact: We’re tackling big problems, but we’re a small enough organization for each individual to make a real difference People: We’re a group of smart, kind, low-ego, and values-driven people from a wide variety of industries and backgrounds who are committed to our mission Ideas: We seek out the best ideas – no matter where they come from – to look beyond what is possible today Values: It’s not just what you accomplish, it’s also how you accomplish it that matters Member FDIC

Pursuit Funds was founded to provide differentiated income-oriented and defensive private niche alternative credit products to retail and institutional clients, including a flagship Interval Fund targeting the mass affluent market. Our strategy focuses on building a differentiated portfolio of uncorrelated and hard-to-access niche investments across specific niche private credit and income categories. We target capital-starved, sub-institutional markets that are overlooked by traditional lenders and larger funds.

FundersClub is the worlds first online venture capital platform. It is built around a unique online marketplace that allows accredited investors to become equity holders in managed venture funds, which then fund pre-screened private companies. Each funded FundersClub startup benefits from the capital, the advice, and the professional networks of its associated venture fund, and are spared from the overhead of interfacing with a crowd of investors by receiving capital in a traditional venture capital fund format. Investors benefit from greater access to private investment opportunities, a more convenient investment process and the ability to diversify with relatively small amounts of capital. Backed by Y Combinator, First Round Capital, Spark Capital, Intel Capital, Draper, Andreessen Horowitz, Felicis Ventures, and more. Learn more at www.fundersclub.com.
