Company Summary

Seeds channels microtransactions made in apps into interest-bearing microloans made to entrepreneurs in the developing world.

Our SDK can be downloaded and set up in an app, for free, in about 20 minutes.

Using deep linking, we funnel the $1 behind an in-app purchase to micro-entrepreneurs in need of capital.

In doing so, we make it more likely that users will spend in an app, improving app developers' revenues.
