StreetShares, Inc., a Reston, VA-based online lending platform, closed a $1.2m seed funding.
The round was led by Accion Venture Lab, with participation from Washington D.C.-area community bankers, military veteran investors, Harvard Business School angels and Capital One alumni.
Led by Mark L. Rockefeller, CEO, and Mickey Konson, COO, and Ben Shiflet, CTO, StreetShares has built a socially-oriented online lending platform, where individual investors bid to lend shares of small business loans to mainstreet businesses.
It is open to all small businesses with funding needs below $100k, but has a particular focus on the veteran-owned business community.
