EVEN Financial aims to solve investor-borrower imbalance in marketplace lending – Fierce Finance
Startup EVEN Financial is looking to even out the imbalance in marketplace lending by helping lenders find and attract the qualified borrowers that are in increasingly high demand. The company announced $2.8 million in seed funding Tuesday morning, led by Canaan Partners.
“There is a roughly four-to-one discrepancy between demand for this debt and supply of debt,” said Ian Rosen, CEO and co-founder of EVEN Financial. “Even in the context of this incredibly growing ecosystem and asset class, there is much more demand to buy than there is an available supply of loans.”

The policies in Nuula's new Term Life Insurance feature are generated and serviced by LeapLife, an insurtech platform and licensed life insurance agency, that is owned and operated by Even.

"Adding Term Life Insurance further expands the range of services we are delivering to meet the diverse needs of today's small business owner."

"By partnering with Even, Nuula's small businesses are provided with a curated network of carriers rated A- and above by AM Best, world-class customer support and a search feature that matches people with the right policies and lowest available prices when and where they need it."
Today's news follows the launch of a new personal loan search feature aimed towards early-stage small businesses, powered by Even.

Nuula announces partnership with Even Financial to power new Personal Loan search feature to help early-stage small businesses
TORONTO, June 21, 2022 -- Nuula, a fintech company focused on providing small businesses the tools and the capital they need to succeed, today announced a new personal loan search feature that allows small business owners and entrepreneurs that are smaller or earlier stage to search 30+ top lenders for personal loan offers from $5K to $250K, powered by Even Financial ("Even") the embedded financial marketplace owned by MoneyLion Inc. (NYSE: ML).
Complementing the existing Term Loan product, designed for more mature businesses, Nuula has introduced this new feature to match the diverse capital needs of small business owners, especially sole proprietors, freelancers and consultants. Unlike traditional financial institutions, which offer limited, rigid loan options, often serving only businesses at a more established stage of their growth, Nuula now allows borrowers to source multiple loan options and find a loan that fits their unique needs, including those who are just getting started, thanks to its partnership with Even.
Nuula's new loan search feature powered by Even matches small business owners with personalized loan offers in less than 60 seconds, based on the borrower's criteria and credit health. The new feature also allows small business owners to compare offers – including the term of the loan, APR and estimated monthly payments – without impacting their credit score.
"Small businesses come in all shapes and sizes – and so do their capital needs," said Mark Ruddock, CEO at Nuula. "Nuula's all-in-one approach not only allows small businesses to access incredibly powerful tools that provide real-time insight into the health of their business, but now allows them access to a range of different financing options, such as personal loans, to help them access the capital needed to be successful at every stage of their business, powered by Even."
Nuula's new feature was made possible through an integration with Even Financial, the category-leading embedded finance marketplace.
"There is no one-size-fits-all approach to cover all of the different capital needs of a small business," said Andrew Nauom, SVP of Sales at Even. "By partnering with Even, qualified Nuula customers will be able to access offers from the largest network of connected leading financial service providers and find personal loans that best fit their needs."
Nuula will be announcing additional features and partnerships in the coming weeks.
