(commonly known as SoFi) is an online personal finance company that provides student loan refinancing, mortgages and personal loans. History2011–13SoFi was founded in 2011 by Mike Cagney, Dan Macklin, James Finnigan, and Ian Brady, four students who met at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. The founders hoped SoFi could provide more affordable options for those taking on debt to fund their education.[1] The company’s inaugural loan program was a $2 million pilot at Stanford. For this pilot, 40 alumni invested an average of $50,000 to 100 students.[1][2][3] In September 2012, SoFi raised $77.2 million, led by Baseline Ventures, with participation from DCM and Renren.[4][5] Additional investors included Ron Suber.[6] On October 2, 2013, SoFi announced that it had raised $500 million in debt and equity to fund and refinance student loans. This total funding amount came from $90 million in equity, $151 million in debt, and $200 million in bank participations, with the remaining capital from alumni and community investors.[7] The $151 million in debt includes a $60 million line of credit from Morgan Stanley, and a $41 million line of credit from Bancorp.[8][9][10] As of September 2013, SoFi had funded $200 million in loans to 2500 borrowers at the company’s 100 eligible schools.[11] In November 2013, SoFi announced a deal with Barclays and Morgan Stanley to create a bond backed by peer-to-peer student loans, and this would create the first securitization of these loans to receive a credit rating.[12] 2014–18In April 2014, SoFi raised $80 million in a Series C round led by Discovery Capital Management with participation from Peter Thiel, Wicklow Capital, and existing investors. Money was raised to expand the footprint of the company's student loan refinancing business and to extend into new products like mortgages and personal loans.[13] In February 2015, the company announced a $200 million funding round led by Third Point Management. That same month, the company officially began offering personal loans.[14][15] By March 2015, the company was offering mortgages in more than 20 states, up from its initial launch that included under ten states in October, 2014.[16][17] By April 2015, the company had funded more than $2 billion in loans, including student loan refinancing, mortgages, personal loans and MBA loans. To celebrate its $2 billion milestone, SoFi announced a contest, #2BillionTogether, to pay off one of its members student loans.[18] In September 2015, Former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt was added as an advisor. The firm also raised a $1 billion round of investment from SoftBank[19] and said it had funded $4 billion in loans.[20] In May 2016, SoFi became the first startup online lender to receive a triple-A rating from Moody's.[21] In September 2016, SoFi launched SoFi at Work, an employee benefit program to reduce student debt and build financial wellness, and announced it has more than 600 corporate partners.[22] As of October 2016, SoFi has funded more than $12 billion in total loan volume and has 175,000 members.[23] In February 2017, it was announced that Social Finance Inc. raised an additional $500 million from an investor group led by Silver Lake, and also including SoftBank, to help support global expansion.[24][25] On September 11, 2017, Chief Executive Mike Cagney announced he would resign by the end of year due to allegations of sexual harassment and skirting risk and compliance controls.[26] Announced January 23, 2018, Anthony Noto resigned from his position as COO of Twitter, to become the CEO of Social Finance.[27][28] In April 2018, SoFi announced that Michelle Gil, who previously worked at TPG and Goldman Sachs, was joining the company as Chief Financial Officer[29]. In October 2018, SoFi settled FTC charges, agreeing to stop making false claims about savings from student loan refinancing. The FTC alleged that SoFi had been making such false claims since April 2016.[30] Under the final order, SoFI is prohibited from misrepresenting to consumers how much money consumers will save or have saved using its products and from making any claims about any such savings unless the claims are backed up with reliable evidence[31]. ModelSoFi originally utilized an alumni-funded lending model that connected students and recent graduates with alumni and institutional investors via school specific student loan funds.[32] Investors received a financial return and borrowers received rates lower than the federal government offered. The company sought to minimize defaults by focusing on low-risk students and graduates.[33] As SoFi’s product offerings expanded to include mortgages, mortgage refinancing and personal loans, the company moved away from an alumni-funded model to a non-traditional underwriting approach focused on lending to financially responsible individuals. SoFi uses an underwriting model that examines free cash flow, professional history and education in addition to a history of responsible bill payment to evaluate its borrowers.[34] References1. ^1
