Create a line of credit on-the-fly with your friends.
I love that this is from the Kiva guys. Kiva is maybe my favourite company of the last 100 years. But don’t think I believe in this. Everyday a talented Nigerian craftswoman said “I wish I could borrow $25 bucks to get my business off the ground and be self sustaining. Same as Indian women, Congolese women and everybody else.

Smart guys, already proved they can change the world- but the jury’s out on this one.
