Q. What’s one of the few things more exciting than demoing your technology at Finovate this spring?
A. Having a $16 million investment waiting for you when you return home.
That’s the story of Credit Sesame, which combined its latest appearance at Finovate with news of $16 million in new funding.
The Series D round was led by Syncora Alternative Investments, and featured participation from IA Capital, Inventus Capital, Globespan Capital, Menlo Ventures, and other investors. IA Capital Partners served as an adviser to Syncora. The additional funding will help the company expand its credit and loan-management services; “ramp up” marketing; and open offices in San Francisco. Credit Sesame’s total capital stands at more than $35 million.
