What we do
Fynn helps students afford trade and vocational school, to help students pursue in-demand careers like electricians, nurses, welders, or pharmacists.
Trade school is an amazing opportunity for people in the US to move out of poverty to a stable income, but the students that would benefit most are the ones that struggle most with paying for tuition. Unfortunately, traditional credit underwriting doesn't work for students right out of high school or with weak credit history.
We underwrite students based on their future potential instead of their credit history, and we have built a more student-friendly, federally compliant loan to better support our students through school. We partner directly with the top trade schools in the country, and we're expanding into partnering with employers to land our students jobs, as well as bringing credit-building, banking and other financial services to our students in the near future.
We went through YC in 2019 and are a small, well-funded company. You'll be joining an experienced team with senior leadership, that has deep expertise in lending and the capital markets.
