Lending Club Joins IPO Club

People to People

People (to People), get ready, there’s a train a comin’

Clocking in at an $8+ Bn market cap, Lending Club is the latest IPO in the fintech space, and one that takes aim at the core functions of banking with person-to-person, or crowd-sourced, lending. Shares rallied 70% in early trading. Should this deal itself have been crowd-sourced, too??

Here at DealVector we were astonished by the rally. One thing is clear, the monster payday for Venture Capitalists will keep the disruption train rolling along in fintech. All aboard!
