At Collinear Capital, we’re redefining how enterprise technology thrives by unlocking the untapped potential of individual consultants, systems integrators, and enterprise technologists. These professionals sit at the heart of the symbiotic relationship between enterprise technology companies, consulting firms, and enterprise customers—a relationship we call the Enterprise Tech Equation. We believe innovation flourishes when technology product companies and consultants work together, but traditionally, the wealth generated from these innovations has been inaccessible to the very people implementing and adopting these solutions. We’re changing that. Our firm empowers individual consultants and technologists to invest in what they know best: enterprise B2B startups. By pooling their expertise and capital, these investors gain access to opportunities typically reserved for institutional funds. In return, our portfolio companies benefit from the wisdom and networks of industry experts, ensuring they can: Attract top talent through expert recommendations and direct involvement. Navigate new markets and develop targeted product features with hands-on advisory support. Build and strengthen critical partnerships with consulting and systems integration firms. We focus on Series A and B enterprise B2B startups with proven traction and scaling potential. Our engaged community of investors doesn’t just commit capital—they contribute their knowledge and experience, providing a unique edge in deal sourcing, evaluation, and portfolio company success. We’re more than a venture capital firm. We’re a community of experts driving the future of enterprise technology—and sharing in the success we help create.

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
