Founder Renaud Laplanche tells us how LendingClub navigated the waters of the catastrophic 2008 crash. With a little help from one of the animators of Peppa Pig.
This was our third episode of "Startup Stories", and though LendingClub is certainly an interesting idea (peer-to-peer lending), it doesn't necessarily spark a lot of fun visuals. So my team stumbled on animator Will Rose, and we collaborated closely with him to bring color, octopi, and fun character design into the mix.
