Clasp Finance About Us

Clasp is a venture-backed, mission-driven startup transforming access to education and career pathways. A college education was always meant to be a pathway to economic mobility, but with rising costs and shrinking loan availability, many students from working class and first generation backgrounds are being left without the financial resources they need to get through school. That’s where Clasp comes in. We are the market leader in institutionally-funded gap loan programs, partnering with schools to design, launch, and manage lending programs that keep students enrolled, graduating, and thriving.

A Forbes Fintech 50 company, portfolio company of SHRM, and recipient of “43 Start Ups to Bet Your Career On in 2025” by Business Insider, Clasp is driven by our commitment to social impact and innovation. Join us on our journey to give power and opportunity to learners of all backgrounds.
