VanillaSoft Selects Kiva for Micro Lending Initiative

VanillaSoft announced today that it has selected micro lending as its 2011 social community initiative and will partner with Kiva as the platform to make micro loans to entrepreneurs and small businesses across the globe.

VanillaSoft, a leading provider of lead management software for Inside Sales teams sees micro lending as a perfect fit for it's employees, prospects, investors and customers. "It just makes sense," said Ken Murray, President of VanillaSoft. "When we started our company, we got funded early on through friends, angels and eventually through traditional banks and VCs. Opportunity for funding in the developing world is extremely limited or simply not available. This is not only an opportunity to make a loan to a fellow business owner, it is absolutely the right thing to do."

The team at VanillaSoft is excited to get their new programs underway and start sharing their good fortune with other businesses and entrepreneurs around the world. To learn more about the program visit vanillasoft.com/kiva.
