FinMkt


FinMkt is a New York City-based financial technology company founded in 2010 under the name GoodWorldCreations and then Crowdnetic, which then rebranded in 2016 to the current iteration. It operates the Marketplace Lending Gateway, a computing platform that connects loan applicants to potential alternative funding sources, and also runs Lending Gateway, and Lendvious.com.
In November 2017, FinMkt announced it closed a $5.4 million equity round led by venture capital firm ManchesterStory Group with help from Seraph Group, West Loop Ventures, Sun Hung Kai Financial, Perot Jain, Vectr Ventures, and existing investors bringing the total raised funding to $7.3M. The funding round was to grow Lending Gateway, which has processed over $1 billion in consumer loan applications.
In 2015, Wired reported that CNBC and FinMkt were teaming up on a new crowdfinance index, which Steve Lewis of CNBC called a “seas change.” The CNBC Crowdfinance Indexes provide an overview of the crowdfunding market. The main CNBC Crowdfinance 50 Index, updated daily, lists the 50 highest capital commitments received by private U.S. firms listed on FinMkt's data platform. Other CNBC Crowdfinance Indexes track real estate, services, and technology.
