Well I’m sure as good of an idea that this is, it won’t be around much longer based on 2.5 million dollars in funding. Considering in this day and age a CEO’s salary is already 1 third of that per year, (that was 2 years ago) and then the remaining executive team, as well as web hosting……ouch

tick tock……the clock is running out …

I’ve been waiting on CommunityLend for a long time… I have capital to inject and plans for a community group of lenders to co-operate in vetting the best prospects.3

C’mon Colin! Where we at?

I keep checking back every few months, but I don’t know why. I’m 100% certain that this is never going to launch.

“Canadian peer-to-peer loan start-up CommunityLend has secured $2.5 million in funding and rounded out its management team in advance of a live launch slated for Q1 2008.”

LOL!!! Q1 2010 is coming up pretty damn quick.. with your proven horrible insight I think I’ll be investing my money somewhere else. Goodbye forever community lend!

Wow, now if Community Lend would just stop being vapourware it would be fantastic news.

Prosper is indeed back up and running. They are still working through approvals in many states, but there is a bunch of interesting info on their website. Enjoy

A message from their CEO on their website says the following:
Prosper is Back! (We mean it this time)

Finally… the moment we and so many supportive and loyal Prosper community members have been waiting for… after nine long months of navigating the rapidly changing regulatory landscape, we are thrilled to announce that Prosper’s registration statement with the SEC has been declared effective. Prosper lenders can once again invest directly in fellow Americans and small businesses!
