CurrentSparkIL was established by the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Ogen group as a unique Internet-based peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platform combining social impact investing and Israel engagement. The platform helps small, micro and social businesses in Israel’s geographic and social periphery by providing crowdfunded interest-free loans.The loans are designed to address “the market failure” experienced when these businesses seekcredit from other sources. They do so by harnessing an innovative Internet-based platform forconnecting the businesses to social lenders and investors from Israel and world Jewry – a sort ofnew “digital Zionism.”This connection will not only provide funding, but also create a “personal encounter” – the platformenables direct connectivity between borrowers and lenders, with the goal of generating a socialand personal connection.
