P2P Lending overcrowding

fredericbaud — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 07:28:03 +0000

There is apparently a wealth of new sites on the subject, which can cause concern for the viability of most of them. Then, we do not have yet a real demonstration of the viability of the business model. We know that this can work with Zopa and Prosper, but don't know yet if this is sustainable. Interesting times anyhow

P2P Lending explosion

there seems to be an explosion of p2p lending sites and entities. I wonder what will emerge from this? I wonder if they'll suffer from the same default problems, and low ROI for lenders that Prosper appears to be suffering from?

French SeedCamp: Awesome!

This is a great idea! I think organizing a SeedCamp in the US would be great, too. Something I am thinking about now, wondering if I have enough local/regional connections to see this happen, maybe in Chicago...

Looking for organizing a Seedcamp in France

I'm currently discussing with several people here in France (in particular Louis van Proosdij Duport - also organizer of local OpenCoffee in Paris) on how we could organize a national Seedcamp. I have contacts with Saul and Reshma to see how it could fit with their plans.

We have a wiki-brainstorm here (in French).
