Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ: UPST) is an artificial intelligence lending platform company that connects consumers seeking personal, auto, and home equity loans with bank and credit union partners. The company earns fees from lending partners each time a loan is originated, referred, or serviced through its platform, making revenue transactional rather than balance-sheet dependent. Upstart retains a small portion of loans on its own balance sheet and also earns fees from selling loans to institutional investors. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in San Mateo, California, Upstart operates primarily in the United States. The platform's stated differentiation is a credit underwriting model that uses non-traditional variables beyond FICO scores to assess borrower creditworthiness. Because the filing excerpts provided are largely cover-page boilerplate, specific FY2025 revenue figures, loan volumes, bank partner counts, and competitive positioning details are not supported by the available excerpts and are therefore omitted.
