Both the investment firms have also made direct investments in Edly.

Edly, which is said to be the only private sector platform offering IBR loans, will use the proceeds to offer education loans to more students pursuing degrees in nursing, STEM, accounting, and other areas.

The firm underwrites loans by focusing on historic student outcomes, schools and programmes and bases loan payments on a student’s future salary.

Edly CEO Chris Ricciardi said: “We are truly fortunate to be able to partner with best-in-class investors like Medalist and Windmuehle. The combination of their experience and financing will deliver a powerful boost for our mission to close the funding gap and help solve the student loan crisis.”
