What is "lendinvest"

LendInvest is a marketplace lending & investing platform for residential and commercial mortgages created by Montello, a specialist financier based in London. It offers an crowdsourcing alternative to bank-backed mortgages, of which there has been a drastic decline in the United Kingdom following the Financial Crisis of 2007–08.

Launched in May 2013, the company lent £6.5 million in its first four months of operation.
