Fannie Mae Green Financing Initiative for Multifamily
SAN FRANCISCO August 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Plum, Inc., a commercial real estate financial technology company, today announced a $10 million Series A investment by Renren Inc.
Bill Fisher, Plum’s Founder and CEO, said: “Institutional interest in our funding round was exceptionally robust. We are excited to be partnering with Renren Inc., led by Joe Chen and James Liu, who have built a sterling track record of backing FinTech winners, including SoFi, LendingHome, and Motif Investing. Joe and James are accomplished entrepreneurs in their own right, and they will help to accelerate Plum’s progress on its aggressive plan to transform commercial real estate lending.” Renren’s decision follows an earlier seed investment in Plum by QED Investors, led by Nigel Morris, a founder of Capital One.
Nino Fanlo, CFO of SoFi, and a long-time special advisor to Plum, said: “It would be hard to overstate Renren’s contribution to SoFi’s success. By partnering with Joe and James, Plum is now positioned to crush the competition in the commercial real estate space.”
