“By combining Lenddo with our indepth knowledge of the Korean market we have developed predictive scores and are able to provide better services more applicable to the local market.”
The launch of Lenddo Korea comes nearly one year after Lenddoclosed its Series B investment round to support the company’s accelerated growth and meet global demand. The round was led by new investors AT Capital and Life.SREDA, with participation from existing investors Omidyar Network, Blumberg Capital and Golden Gate Ventures.
