Life.sreda backs Scorista.ru
Life.sreda Venture Capital has invested in Scorista.ru, a Russian online credit assessment service for micro finance institutions (MFI), giving the company a value of $3-4m, according to the firm’s analysts.
The investment will be used to further develop the project, which has just completed its pilot mode.
Life.sreda was attracted to the company because the firm believes Scorista's scoring tool will become in demand in Russia's developing microlending market, which is still quite small.
Company
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Moscow, Scorista has developed a cloud-based credit scoring tool for MFIs, pawn shops, lending cooperatives and both online and brick-and-mortar shops in Russia.
The service is available for lenders to use on borrowers applying for loans of up to RUB 100,000 for a one-year period. The processing fee is RUB 22 per borrower.
People
Scorista was founded by project manager Maria Weichman and director Ivan Tretyakov. Alexander Ivanov is a partner at Life.sreda.
