Avenify

Borrow for school using Income Share Agreements and pay nothing back until you're employed. Goodbye, student loans. Hello, freedom.

Avenify is the first peer-to-peer lending platform for Income Share Agreements, built by students, for students.

As founders, our mission is to empower a generation by connecting students with supporters who are eager to invest in them.

We keep financing terms simple and transparent, and give borrowers peace of mind with income-based repayment and fee-free deferment. We give investors the opportunity to pay their successes forward by making investments that make a difference.

Avenify

Borrow for school using Income Share Agreements and pay nothing back until you're employed. Goodbye, student loans. Hello, freedom.

Article  (+695 characters)

Avenify offers Income Share Agreements, or ISAs, which are a novel way to finance your education. Unlike a loan, where you pay back a fixed balance and interest, ISAs are a promise to share a percentage of your future income.

Payments are a percentage of your income. And if you're earning less than $20,000, your payments drop to $0.

Payments don't start until you have a job. We'll even pause your payments for you if you lose your job or go back to school.

Payments start six months after graduation. If you lose your job or go back to school, we'll pause them for you.

...

Once you reach the end of the payback period, you'll stop making payments. You may even have paid back less than you borrowed!
