Clasp Snapshot
Our mission is to make education affordable and accessible, with flexible forms of outcomes-based financing that open doors and give power to learners.
🚀 Company Overview 🚀
Clasp (formerly Stride Funding), named the 2022 Startup of the Year by Startup Boston, is a venture-backed, mission-driven company that is transforming access to education with innovative forms of financing. We work to increase educational access by leveraging alternative data sets, innovative modeling techniques, and school-support funding to offer outcomes-driven financing products (e.g. income share loans, deferred tuition agreements, and employer-sponsored programs) on the basis of students’ future career trajectory—rather than their historical family credit profile.
In the past year, we’ve closed the largest Income Share Loan fund in history, raising $105 million to support non-degree students in high-quality bootcamps, and launched groundbreaking programs to support students at schools ranging from Stanford Law School to General Assembly. Charging ahead on our student-centric mission, Clasp has become the largest player in the outcomes-based financing market, supporting students at more than 150 schools and bootcamp programs across the country, with over $135mm in servicing.
Our team has grown 3x in the last year, and we’re not stopping any time soon. Joining Clasp means playing a role in creating meaningful change, and doing work you truly love, while surrounded by a team that shares your passion!
