NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Credit Coop, the protocol transforming credit markets by turning business cash flows into programmable collateral, today announced the close of a $4.5 million seed funding round led by Maven 11 and Lightspeed Faction, with additional participation from Coinbase Ventures, Signature Ventures, Veris Ventures, TRGC, and dlab.
This funding round will be leveraged to increase headcount through engineering and business development hires, rapidly expanding Credit Coop’s operations. The company’s platform delivers real-time settlement, automated loan servicing, and transparent credit monitoring, providing institutional lenders direct access to uncorrelated yield backed by verifiable cash flows. Credit Coop’s “mix and match” approach allows businesses to leverage both traditional assets and future cash flows to secure credit, unlocking unprecedented capital efficiency to help businesses with their working capital needs.
Christopher Walker, Founder and CEO of Credit Coop, commented on today’s news: “We’re eliminating the friction that has kept credit markets stuck in the 20th century. With strong traction and growing demand, this funding round accelerates our mission to serve every business that’s been told to wait 30 days for the capital they need today. We’re making credit work for the 21st century — instant, transparent, and always on.”
At the core of Credit Coop is its innovative Secured Line of Credit, powered by the Spigot smart contract. This groundbreaking technology allows businesses to collateralize their future revenues, creating a novel form of programmatic recourse that enhances capital efficiency for borrowers while providing unparalleled security for lenders. With its onchain execution, all lending activities are transparent, efficient, and programmable, changing the standard by which lending services operate.
“Credit Coop represents a fundamental shift in how credit markets operate. By giving lenders direct control over repayment flows, they have eliminated counterparty risk, enabling undercollateralized lending. Under Christopher’s leadership, we see Credit Coop as a sharper, cleaner and more composable credit stack. This represents a major step forward for capital efficiency, providing better infrastructure not just for DeFi and cryptonative projects, but for the global financial system that is progressively moving onchain.”- Alexander Essle, investor at Maven 11.
To date, Credit Coop’s platform has handled $150 million in total volume, with over $8.5 million in active loans. Trusted partners include Rain, Coinflow, Tulipa Capital, Re7 Capital, and Valinor among others. Through Credit Coop’s collaboration with Visa, the platform is enabling card issuers to leverage card receivables as programmable collateral, detailed in an upcoming case study.
