It is the first peer-to-peer online lender to be established in Canada.[1][2][3] Grow's platform enables borrowers to obtain a loan, the loans are then sold to private accredited investors. In August 2015 they closed their series A round of financing at $10.2 million, a round that was led by Vancouver angel investors Markus Frind, founder of dating website Plenty of Fish, and Lance Tracey, founder of Internet hosting services company Peer 1 Hosting.[4][5][6] On February 10, 2016 Grow announced its first partnership with a Canadian financial institution: First West Credit Union.[7] The partnership will enable members of First West Credit Union to access the range of Grow product offerings directly through the British Columbian financial institution.[8] The announcement with First West was followed on February 25, 2016, by a second partnership announcement with Conexus Credit Union, the largest credit union in Saskatchewan, in order to bring its online lending services to the province.[9][10] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=O'Hara|first1=Clare|title=Canadians turning to peer-to-peer Web loan providers|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/personal-finance/household-finances/canadians-turning-to-peer-to-peer-web-loan-providers-for-debt-solutions/article24444360/|website=The Globe and Mail|publisher=The Globe and Mail|accessdate=13 January 2016}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Barry|first1=Critchley|title=Vancouver’s Grouplend seeks middle class Canadians for individually priced loans|url=http://business.financialpost.com/news/fp-street/vancouvers-grouplend-seeks-middle-class-canadians-for-individually-priced-loans|website=Financial Post|publisher=Financial Post|accessdate=19 January 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Shecter|first1=Barbara|title=Marketplace lenders step out of the shadows in Canada — should we be worried?|url=http://business.financialpost.com/news/fp-street/marketplace-lenders-step-out-of-the-shadows-in-canada-should-we-be-worried|website=Financial Post|publisher=Financial Post|accessdate=19 January 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=NewsDesk|first1=Techvibes|title=Grouplend Announces $10 Million Financing For Online Lending Platform|url=http://www.techvibes.com/blog/markus-frind-invests-in-grouplend-2015-08-18|website=TechVibes|accessdate=13 January 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Orton|first1=Tyler|title=Vancouver’s emerging FinTech scene poised to push back against Canada’s financial centre|url=https://www.biv.com/article/2016/1/vancouvers-emerging-fintech-scene-poised-push-back/|website=Business In Vancouver|publisher=Business In Vancouver|accessdate=19 January 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Soltys|first1=Douglas|title=PLENTYOFFISH CEO MARKUS FRIND LEADS GROUPLEND’S $10.2 MILLION FUNDING ROUND|url=http://betakit.com/plentyoffish-ceo-markus-frind-leads-grouplends-10-2-million-funding-round/|website=BetaKit|publisher=BetaKit|accessdate=19 January 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Grow and First West Credit Union begin exploring online personal loans service|url=http://www.firstwestcu.ca/media/grow-and-first-west-credit-union-begin-exploring-online-personal-loans-service|website=First West Credit Union|publisher=First West Credit Union|accessdate=7 March 2016}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=O'Hara|first1=Clare|title=First West partners with online lending startup Grow|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/first-west-partners-with-online-lending-startup-grow/article28677593/|accessdate=7 March 2016|publisher=The Globe and Mail|date=Feb 10, 2016}} 9. ^{{cite news|last1=Hobey|first1=Erin|title=Canadian Grow and Conexus Align: Saskatchewan Welcomes Online Lending|url=http://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2016/02/82171-canadian-grow-and-conexus-align-saskatchewan-welcomes-online-lending/|accessdate=7 March 2016|agency=crowdfundinsider.com|publisher=crowdfundinsider.com|date=Feb 25, 2016}} 10. ^{{cite news|last1=Lewis|first1=Rob|title=Startup of the Year Grow Partners with Saskatchewan's Largest Credit Union|url=http://www.techvibes.com/blog/grow-conexus-2016-02-24|accessdate=7 March 2016|agency=TechVibes|publisher=TechVibes|date=Feb 24, 2016}} External links
