Overview

Enzi enables individuals to invest in the education of bright students in exchange for a share in their future income for a set period of time connecting students and investors directly through a Kiva.org like open marketplace. Enzi Fellows (students) receive education funding from several investors and commit to repaying a pre determined percentage of their gross income for a fixed period of time after they begin working. Enzi Angels (investors) receive financial returns on the investment as well as have a tremendous social footprint by helping students attain educations they could not have afforded otherwise. Fellows also enjoy career assistance and mentorship from Angels which helps them realize their full potential.
