United Prosperity- world's first person to person loan guarantee platform to help combat poverty. UP empowers individuals from all across the world to contribute and help us eradicate poverty in self sustained manner. Founded by IIT, IIM alumni and registered in USA, United Prosperity in its past 1.5 years of operations has successfully raised $80k in loan guarantees which translated into loans worth above $170k to marginalized entrepreneurs in rural India. These loan guarantees are not charity and are refunded after 12-18 months, hence the emphasis on self reliance and self respect and not one time charities.
