Investing in students -- with Pave's Oren Bass




Tearsheet Podcast: Exploring Financial Services Together show

Summary: What do you get when you combine the college debt problem together with crowdfunding? An entirely new investable asset, that's what. Oren Bass, co-founder of Pave.com, joins be to talk about how crowdfunding has created an entirely new type of investment: people. Instead of shouldering hundreds of thousands of dollars of student debt early in their career, some forward-looking students have turned to Pave to raise money via a human-capital contract. It's this contract investors can invest in, providing them with a socially-responsible activity along with a return on their money. This isn't passive indexing. Let's dive in and learn more.
