LendingRobot, a Seattle, WA-based automated investment service for online lending, raised approximately $3m in a Series A funding.
The round was led by Runa Capital. In conjunction with the funding, Runa Capital partners Peter Bauert and Andre Bliznyuk will join LendingRobot’s board of directors.
The company intends to use the funds to improve its service and accelerate growth.
