About ZestCash
Based in Hollywood, CA, ZestCash was founded by Douglas Merrill - the
former CIO of Google - along with a handful of ex-Googlers and Capital
One folks to bring social responsibility to the consumer loan industry.
Normally, lenders determine who should get loans using a small amount
of data bought from a data provider. When this data is missing or
negative, the borrower is turned away. But why buy a handful of
variables rather than use vast amounts of data provided by the customer,
alternative data sources, and Internet crawls?
As it stands today, good people are being denied credit because old world processes don’t take advantage of today’s data-rich environment. In our worldview, all data is credit data, and we should use it all to make better loan decisions.
ZestCash offers excellent benefits for a start-up, including health/dental/vision/life insurance, we contribute to your 401K, provide paid parking, reimburse for cell phone, home broadband, and gym memberships. All this and free lunch & snacks as well!
