Milaap, fundraising platform raises 1M$

crowdfundingThe fundraising platform for microcredits Milaaphas raised 1M$ of venture capital in line with the trend of these platforms and the disintermediation of alternative financing.

Milaap, more than 800,000$ for projects focused on India

Co-founded by Sourabh Sharma, CEO, Anoj Viswanathan, Chairman, and Mayukh Choudhury, Milaap Social Entrepreneurship is an online lending platform for borrowers living in rural and semi-urban areas outside the formal banking system who need money for their small businesses, vocational training, or other critical assets. To date, the company has raised over US$800,000 in loans for people in 10 states in India, for a range of needs such as improved school infrastructure, job training linked to youth, seed capital for small businesses, access to clean water and sanitation, and lighting guidance for families.

Other p2plending models

«Llevamos varios años viendo el crecimiento de iniciativas de p2plending con varias orientaciones.  Milaap sigue la senda del líder de su segmento Kiva que ya trabaja por todo el mundo. Sus sistemas de distribución es muy similar, se basan en acuerdos con ONGs locales que se encargan de la generación de peticiones y de hacer una validación mínima de la operación. Kiva ya ha demostrado una buena trayectoria y ha superado los 200 MM€ de financiación» señala Diego Gutierrez experto en financiación alternativa de ABRA INVEST.

«También se están aplicando para la financiación de los estudios de los jóvenes, tema que tanta preocupación social nos ocupa a todos. Por ejemplo, Comunitae llegó a un acuerdo con la Universidad Pública de Valencia para que los antiguos alumnos financien las tasas de los nuevos, o como Vittana  que hace posible que los jóvenes de todo el mundo puedan obtener préstamos estudiantiles directamente de los prestamistas.» comenta Diego Gutierrez.
