<p>Surprised I haven’t heard about this - nobody has hit me up for money, unless the solicitation was torn up and trashed without reading. There is no way I would consider being a direct lender to an individual borrower, but the way they have set it up, where an investor would be part of a pool of lenders with presumably an underwriting team in between creating a diversified portfolio of loans to numerous borrowers… I still wouldn’t do it.
Maybe a small amount. 4% risky return doesn’t thrill me. The thought of helping a poor MBA student along his road to a multimillion dollar investment banking career also doesn’t thrill me.</p>
