Mission-driven, people-centric, data-inspired.

Stride Funding is a venture-based, mission-driven fintech transforming access to education through innovative, outcomes-based lending products.

Instead of relying on strict FICO cutoffs, cosigners, and other traditional barriers to credit, we leverage alternative data sets, innovative modeling techniques, and school-support funding to provide students of all backgrounds with alternative financing products, like: Income Share Loans, Deferred Tuition Agreements, employer-sponsored loan programs, and more.

In other words, we're focused on where a student is going—not where they came from.
