Vets helping vetreprenurs

I am proud to be an investor of Street Shares and a client. They loaned me $25,000 to take my business to the next level. Well, I am franchising my business now and Street Shares helped make that possible.

StreetShares Review

StreetShares has some really nice folks working there. And it's nice to have a decent interest rates for my investments.

The only issue I have is that small business's have to have 25k profit coming in to qualify for a loan. It would be nice if they had a lower threshold for the loans.

Hi David, thank you for your kind words. To clarify, our funding is for businesses with $25,000 in annual revenue, not necessarily that much in profits.

For Veteran businesses just getting started, check out the StreetShares Foundation, which provides free grant money every month with the Veteran Small Business Awards for young small businesses.

Thanks again,
Peter at StreetShares

Investor's review of StreetShares

Returns down since removing selective investing...

My returns have dropped significantly since you removed selective investing. If I am understanding my investing options correctly I have to invest in a broad selection of loans not just individual ones.

You have too many questionable loans that will default - if someone isn't willing to provide their public name and info they are less likely to keep their word to pay off their loan.

Hi Brian, thank you for your comments. StreetShares Pro investors can either select individual loans to invest in, or use Auto Invest to automatically build a diversified portfolio. While some loan defaults are unavoidable, we have been pleased by the high repayment rates of our business borrowers, including many who go the extra mile to honor their commitment to fellow veterans backing their loan. As a whole, our loan portfolio performance has not changed since the updates to the StreetShares Pro website in August.

If you have questions about particular loans in your investing portfolio, I would be very happy to assist you -- you can reach me at peter@streetshares.com.

Thanks again,
Peter at StreetShares

Excellent money move

After learning of Street Shares, and the 5% ROI, I decided to jump on the opportunity. As of now, I have not been disappointed. I like that my investment funds start ups and enables wealth creation through others.

Great team, great platform, and an important business

The purpose of Streetshares is laudable in that it helps small businesses obtain credit. Granted, they are not altruistic and take a cut, but connecting small business owners with community lending is a crucial function. The platform makes investing easy (autoinvest is simple) and they handle all the logistics. I only know it from the investor side, but think its a top notch operation. No reservations here.
