Canadian platform closes funding round Kevin Sandhu
Canadian online lender Grouplend closed its latest funding round this week, giving it a total raise to date of $10.2 million since its inception 10 months ago.
Leading investors in the latest round include PlentyofFish CEO Markus Frind and Sutton Real Estate Group founder Lance Tracey.
According to a release, Grouplend has already processed hundreds of millions of dollars in loan applications and serviced thousands of borrowers.
That success has translated into heightened investor interest, according to Grouplend’s CEO.
“A Canadian company going from zero to this stage in 10 months is nearly unprecedented, and we are only getting started,” Kevin Sandhu said. “This round of financing will provide Grouplend the necessary ammunition to accelerate our reinvention of lending in Canada, through new products and strategic partnerships.”
