Social Finance (SoFi), a marketplace lender, has secured USD 200 million in Series D funding led by Third Point Ventures and affiliates of Third Point, with Wellington Management Company, Institutional Venture Partners and existing investors also participating in the round.

SoFi launched as an alternative to traditional banking in 2011. Since that time, the company has originated over USD 1.75 billion dollars in loans, and expanded to provide a suite of solutions for early stage professionals, including mortgages, MBA loans and personal loans.
