Currency is a VC fund in Scottsdale focused on Non Profit and Association. On the heels of the Great Recession, businesses around the country found themselves left behind. Commercial banks just weren’t lending, and when they were, the delays between application and funding were far too long.So a group of financial experts, along with a few tech wizards, decided to take action. We engineered a technology thatstreamlined both approval and funding by getting a more complete financial picture at the beginning of the application process. The result was Currency, and since then we’ve helped support businesses with over $500 million in loans.
