Series B — $40M Raised

Credit Scores Are a Suggestion.

Alternative credit assessment for people whose gut said yes before the algorithm could say no.

Traditional credit systems are rigid and designed to say "no" when your gut says "yes." A forgotten phone bill or a minor holiday splurge can leave great applicants just shy of approval. But what if "almost there" could actually mean "good to go"? LoanBoostr fills the gap between what the algorithm sees and what we see — which is you.

Methodology

What We Actually Look At

We start with the standard inputs — income, employment, existing obligations. Then we go further, because the standard inputs don't tell the full story. They never have. Here's what else we're looking at:

Aura Score 0–100

Proprietary

Our proprietary visual analysis model evaluates submitted photos for financial confidence, forward posture, and what our team describes as "fiscal presence." We cannot explain this further without compromising the model. Scores above 70 qualify for preferred rates.

The Handshake Index™

Optional

In-person applicants receive an optional handshake assessment conducted by a certified LoanBoostr representative. Firmness, duration, and eye contact are weighted equally. Remote applicants may submit a video handshake. We are aware of how this sounds.

Optimism Coefficient

Scored

A short written response to the prompt "What does financial freedom mean to you?" is scored for genuine optimism, forward-looking language, and the absence of the word "eventually." Responses over 200 words are reviewed manually. Under 50 words means you probably already have money.

Reference Vibe Check

Required

One character reference, unannounced, contacted by our team at a random time and asked simply: "Do you think [applicant] is good for it?" The response — not the content, the energy of the response — is scored.

The 3 a.m. Indicator

Top Signal

We analyze whether applicants have applied between midnight and 4 a.m. Statistically, our best-performing borrowers applied late at night. We don't know why. We're not asking.

Traditional credit factors (FICO, DTI, income verification) are also reviewed. They represent approximately 40% of the final LoanBoostr composite score.

"My FICO was 612. My aura was, according to LoanBoostr, 'visibly entrepreneurial.' I got the loan. The business is doing fine, thank you."

"They called my reference at 7 p.m. on a Thursday. She was in the middle of dinner and said 'Yeah, he's great' and hung up. That was enough. I'm grateful."

3am Signal: Positive

"I applied at 3:14 a.m. because I couldn't sleep and was worried about money. They called it 'a positive late-night indicator.' We see things differently but I appreciate the reframe."
