CHICAGO, Feb. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Braviant Holdings, a leading fintech startup that uses advanced analytics and proprietary technology to make smarter lending decisions, has raised $5 million common equity from Loom Capital, LLC.  Alongside the equity investment, Braviant has entered into an exclusive partnership with a subsidiary of Trend Capital, a tech-enabled digital marketing platform affiliated with Loom. 

Braviant is one of the largest providers of pre-approved direct mail offers of credit for underbanked consumers in its market. Through the newly minted partnership with Trend, Braviant will further diversify its customer acquisition channels and continue its track record of exceeding 2x annual growth in loan originations.

According to Ron Symon, CEO of Trend Capital, "Braviant is especially well-positioned to succeed in the constantly evolving online lending ecosystem.  Braviant's proven management team has created a winning business model that addresses the growing need for alternative credit options.  As we searched for the right partner to invest in, a shared focus on consumer-friendly, tech-enabled solutions was paramount, and that is exactly what Braviant offers."

In addition to the $5 million investment from Loom, one of Braviant's early investors has elected to convert a $2 million note to equity. Braviant has the option to raise up to an additional $10 million at the same price per unit as Loom during a 60-day tail period.
