Expanded partnerships and new offerings position the company for continued growth in consumer and private credit

Edge Focus, a technology-enabled private credit firm focused on consumer assets, announced today a series of significant milestones from the past year that underscore its continued momentum in consumer lending technology and the private credit markets. Headlining Edge Focus's achievements, the company tripled its revenue in 2025 while achieving profitability.

Powered by a seasoned leadership team with deep experience in risk management, private markets and technology – and supported by its strategic partnership with Fortress Investment Group (“Fortress”) which combines premier financing power with machine-learning-enabled underwriting capabilities – Edge Focus scaled its impact across consumer lending. Through its proprietary underwriting and credit decisioning technology, Edge Focus supported lending partners, including Best Egg, Happy Money and Prosper Marketplace, in evaluating tens of billions of loan application volume and facilitating over $2B in loan issuance in 2025 through forward flow purchase agreements. Together with its partners, Edge Focus helped create timely, fairly priced loans for more than 100,000 Americans.

“2025 represented a transformative year for Edge Focus,” said Elliott Lorenz, co-founder and CEO of Edge Focus. “Our work driving tech-supported, responsible lending activity remains grounded in dual objectives: improving returns through better underwriting while providing greater access to credit. The demand we are seeing reflects a shift toward tools that don’t just increase efficiency and precision, but measurably enhance portfolio performance. That focus will guide our continued expansion throughout 2026.”

On the capital markets front, Edge Focus expanded its partnership with Nelnet to include strategies to acquire consumer loan portfolios and facilitate loan issuance. These initiatives provide broader institutional access to consumer loans originated, curated and securitized by Edge Focus, including through the company’s EDGEX securitization shelf, its proprietary issuance platform. EDGEX, Edge Focus’ private funds, as well as its separately managed accounts and joint ventures all enable the company to aggregate capital, structure credit exposure and scale securitization-oriented strategies powered by its technology-enabled underwriting and data platform.

Building on its expanding partner ecosystem, Edge Focus and Fortress entered into a financing agreement with another major lender that will allow the lender to leverage Origin, Edge Focus’s SOC 2 Type II-certified credit decisioning engine, for its non-core borrower population. This partnership is designed to facilitate more efficient credit decisioning while supporting Edge Focus’s efforts to deliver compelling investment opportunities.

“Informed decision making and access to capital are core principles of responsible lending in today’s market,” said Jeff Andrews, Chief Revenue Officer at Edge Focus. “We are proud to deliver a platform that helps our partners address these priorities and meet the moment in the consumer lending market, while also creating scalable, attractive investment partnerships.”
