About Goldfinch

Founded by two ex-Coinbase employees and backed by top investors including Coinbase, IDEO, and Kindred Ventures, Goldfinch is a decentralized credit platform that is using crypto to empower financial inclusion around the world.

Our vision is to build a global network that allows anyone to be a lender, not just banks. Since launching the protocol in December 2020, we've gone from zero to serving thousands of borrowers across three continents with a loan pool over $1M. And we're just getting started. We plan to scale the loan book to $10M+ in the next few months, and launch a decentralized network soon after to massively scale the types and amount of lending that we can support.
