About the Company
Prosper is America's first person-to-person lending marketplace and was recently named the #1 Website of 2006 by Time Magazine and one of tech firms to watch in 2007 by Business Week. Founded by former E-LOAN founder and CEO Chris Larsen, Prosper is revolutionizing the consumer credit market. Since its launch 1 year ago, Prosper has generated over $30 million in loans between strangers. Because the innovative business model gives consumers the opportunity to both borrow from and lend to other individuals without the restrictions and expense of a traditional bank, Prosper has a rare opportunity for dramatic growth. Prosper has excellent financial backing (Accel Partners, Benchmark Capital, Fidelity Ventures and Omidyar Network) and a strong experienced management team.
