Company

Company name

LendEDU

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Marketplace for consumer financial products

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

We built LendEDU as a marketplace and comparison site for consumer financial products. Users can transparently compare student loans, personal loans, auto loans, credit cards, banking products, and some insurance offerings. Our goal is to make opaque financial markets simpler and more transparent for consumers who are looking for better options.

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

We're based in Hoboken, NJ now and would move to Mountain View, CA for YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We want to be at YC's Mountain View program to tap into their network and experience in scaling startups. Relocating there for the program gives us access to resources and mentors we can't get locally in Hoboken.

자주 묻는 질문

LendEDU의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 LendEDU의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. LendEDU과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
