Cloud Lending Solutions, the industry's only end-to-end lending solution built natively on salesforce.com, announced today that it has raised $8 million in series A venture funding. This funding will be used to support market expansion and further develop the company's engineering and innovation capabilities. The funding round was led by investor SF Capital Group, with additional investments from Cota Capital and Long Light Capital, along with current seed investors Green Visor and Epic Ventures. Neil Wolfson, president at SF Capital Group, will also join Cloud Lending Solutions' board of directors.

'Cloud Lending helped us provide the solution needed to empower entrepreneurs to get their business off the ground quickly. As both our companies continue to grow and expand in the alternative financing market, we're excited to see what features they continue to bring to their outstanding suite of applications.'

'The scale and scope of the alternative lending market's growth wouldn't be possible without forward thinking solutions that are fundamentally changing lending institutions of all sizes,' said Neil Wolfson, president, SF Capital Group. 'As Cloud Lending continues to expand and bring unique solutions to market, more and more organizations will opt for next-generation technology, leave legacy systems behind and step into the future of finance.'

Since its founding in 2012, Cloud Lending Solutions has offered cloud-based solutions that have empowered customers to go to market with both agility and speed, in as little as 90 days. Over the past 12 months, the company has grown at a rate of over 300 percent, now working with over 75 customers in more than 20 countries.

'Over the past three years, we have continued to develop our solutions to meet our customers unique needs, acting with the same agility and speed as our technology affords their businesses,' said Snehal Fulzele, CEO, Cloud Lending Solutions. 'This additional funding is a further validation of our mission and we are excited to continue driving this growth as well as expand our technology offering in current and new market segments such as commercial real estate and SMB lending, which are trillion dollar industries ripe for disruption.'

The new funding is in addition to the $2 million raised by Cloud Lending Solutions during their pre-series A round in 2014, bringing the total capital raised to $10 million.

'Cloud Lending helped us provide the solution needed to empower entrepreneurs to get their business off the ground quickly. As both our companies continue to grow and expand in the alternative financing market, we're excited to see what features they continue to bring to their outstanding suite of applications.'
