CampusDoor was founded in 1995 to deliver student loans to borrowers and their families via web-based application systems. Today, that sounds too basic for any company’s vision statement. But in the mid-nineties, the Company pioneered dozens of firsts: the first on-line private, credit-based student loan application with a live underwriting and response system, the first truly branded student loan, the first venture capital funded, privately owned private education lender.

Nearly 15 years later, the Company, its original founders and employees have experienced the ups and downs of the financial world. Sold to Lehman Brothers in 2006, the Company grew to become one of the largest private loan providers in the US. After Lehman invested millions of dollars in CampusDoor’s proprietary processing systems and expanded an operating facility capable of through-putting billions in loans each year, the founders re-acquired the Company from Lehman in late 2009. Now poised to re-enter, albeit, a changed student loan industry, the Company is seeking strategic partners in its quest to once again revolutionize higher education finance.
