Altos Ventures, a venture capital company, led a $20.5m Series B funding round in Candidly, an AI-driven student debt and savings optimization platform, with participation from Cercano Management. “We exist to crush debt, and to empower hard-working Americans to go beyond student debt, into wellness, and ultimately wealth. More specifically, most who have student debt are focused on achieving freedom from debt at the expense of building wealth. Our mission and our capabilities enable users to make simultaneous progress so that we don’t have to choose between our past and our future when it comes to financial health and wellness,” Laurel Taylor, Candidly Founder and CEO.
