Founded in 2018 by Tess Michaels, Stride Funding aims to make education more accessible and equitable through innovative, outcomes-based financing. The company's core products include Income Share Agreements (ISAs), where students pay a percentage of their income for a fixed period after graduation, and deferred-payment private student loans. Stride primarily serves students in high-demand fields like STEM, healthcare, and skilled trades, focusing on funding bootcamps, graduate degrees, and other post-secondary programs. Their model is designed to align the cost of education with student success and career outcomes.
