Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Lending• Uses the internet to match individual borrowers and
lenders• Lending site (e.g. Prosper.com or LendingClub.com)
verifies borrower’s credit history• Interest rates reflect site’s own rating of borrower as well
as duration of loan.
Caveat Emptor – Buyer Beware• Interest rates can be very high.• P2P loans are considered personal debt, and will affect
your credit record in the future.

fund, projects by other entrepreneurs and businesses.
– There are several kinds of crowdfunding:• Rewards – trading funds for various types of
rewards.• Donations• Equity – trading funds for ownership in your
company – regulations being developed.• Example of crowdfunding site – Kickstarter.com

Angel Investor• Investment vs. financing vehicle
