Cameron Stevens
CEO & Founder
PRODIGY FINANCE
Cameron Stevens is a serial entrepreneur who focuses on social entrepreneurship and FinTech.
He came up with the idea of Prodigy Finance as he was an international postgraduate student who experienced challenges funding his degree. Cameron knew his INSEAD classmates were ideal candidates for low-interest loans. But while talent is borderless, and evenly distributed in the world, access to finance is not.
Prodigy Finance has since revolutionised international postgraduate student loans, addressing the social and geographical inequalities that exist when accessing finance. Disrupting the traditional funding market, loans are collectively funded by institutional investors, qualified private investors and a community of alumni, who receive a financial and social return; while the student borrower gains access to higher education that they might not otherwise be able to finance.
To date, Prodigy Finance has originated more than US$1bn of loans to over 15,000 students around the world.
