Lending Market Technologies dba Right Pedal LendOS (RPL), a new fintech founded by a team of recognized lending professionals, has secured $3 million in seed funding in a round led by Liberty City Ventures with participation from  a select group of industry leading firms.

The capital will be used to rapidly build an end-to-end lending solution and a world-class managed service for the needs of the largest financial institutions. The $5 trillion global loan market is rapidly expanding and the emergence of new players in private-credit and direct lending are straining an already limited set of aged technology solutions. Maintaining this growth requires modern platforms that can support the industry as it continues to expand.

RPL’s solution is a lending platform that will offer best-in-class Agency, Servicing and Trading solutions through the use of cutting-edge digital technologies. The founding team includes deeply experienced industry veterans John Olesky, Josh Herrera, Steve Shyn and Emil Woods.

Emil Woods, founding partner at Liberty City Ventures and said: “Through our experiences as in-depth financial services investors, dating back to before the US housing crisis, we have always understood the need for a more sophisticated infrastructure layer in the global lending market.  Our belief is the time is right to revolutionize this stale and capital-intensive industry with the application of an innovative technology platform and we are incredibly excited to support the RPL team in this important journey.
