SoFi for trade students
We provide private loans designed specifically for students attending trade schools. Our product helps people afford programs for in-demand careers like electricians, nurses, welders, or pharmacists by offering fair and affordable credit products tailored to the trade education space.
We live and work in New York, Dallas, and Minneapolis. After YC, the company would be based where we continue building the team and scaling operations, likely remaining distributed across these cities.
We chose these locations because they are major hubs where trade schools and students are concentrated, and where we have found early demand for affordable loans to fund trade education. It also gives us access to lending and fintech talent in key markets.
