Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Financing education through Income Share Agreements

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that provides income share agreements to finance students' education. Instead of taking on traditional debt, students agree to pay a percentage of their future income for a fixed period. Our product manages applications, underwriting, funding from our debt pool, and payment collection.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and would base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team is strongest, with access to investors experienced in fintech and education. It also keeps us close to our debt partners and regulatory advisors in the US.
