The tech-first alums of our FinDEVr developers conferences are often as savvy fundraisers as they are sharp technologists. This week in our Q2 Alum Funding Report, we noted that two of the quarter’s biggest fundraisings were from companies that made their Finovate debuts at FinDEVr events: Brazilian neobank NuBank, which secured $750 million in funding in June, and financial data network Plaid, which raised $425 million in funding in April.
This week, we add another FinDEVr alum to this list. LoanPro, a Farmington, Utah-based fintech that made its FinDEVr debut earlier this year, has raised $100 million in Series A funding. The growth equity investment comes courtesy of FTV Capital, and will help LoanPro add to its SaaS-based loan management, servicing, and collections platform, as well as enter new lending verticals and make investments in other “client-centric growth initiatives.”
“As founders who started out as lenders, we understand the pain points that lenders experience,” LoanPro co-founder and CEO Rhett Roberts explained. “LoanPro was built by lenders for lenders – we use a modern tech stack to simplify the user experience of managing loans – we do the hard work on the back end to make the front end clean and simple to use.”
With more than $15 billion of loans under management and 600+ clients in the U.S. and Canada, LoanPro offers a diverse range of loans types and lending programs. The company’s product suite include prime, sub-prime, and personal loan products, as well as consumer, auto, and business financing solutions. LoanPro also offers point-of-sale financing and the retail financing rage of the day – buy now pay later payment options – as well. LoanPro’s platform gives lenders an automated, configurable workflow, real-time access to data and insights, frictionless payment collections, and a flexible lending program.
In addition to the financial support, FTV Capital will use its market knowledge and strategic network to help grow LoanPro’s platform. The firm’s Robert Anderson, who led the investment, will join LoanPro’s board of directors.
“FTV Capital is excited to partner with LoanPro’s strong, passionate leadership team who have built an industry leading SaaS platform based on a deep understanding of their market and the needs of their customers,” Anderson said.
