We're launching “Powered by Upstart”, a Software-as-a-Service offering derived from Upstart’s top-rated consumer lending platform. From rate requests through servicing and collections, this SaaS service brings modern technology and data science to the entire lending lifecycle.

Upstart raises $32.5M with Rakuten, Third Point Ventures, Khosla Ventures, and First Round Capital. Sanjay Datta joins Upstart as CFO.

Upstart has responded to feedback and is striving to continuously improve the investor experience by updating features on the Investor Dashboard.

Contrary to concerns about marketplace lending credit performance, Upstart has seen low loss rates across all loan grades and no performance degradation.

Every day, about 4.5 million people travel by air globally. What if all those passengers and all that travel time was used to explore and solve international innovation challenges?
