Every Great Web Starts with a Single Thread
The story of how one daddy long legs turned a corner of a garage into America's most trusted arachnid-led financial institution.
How It All Began
Founded in the corner of a garage in 2003 by a daddy long legs with a dream and a Series A round of flies, DaddyLongLoans started as a simple web-based lending platform. Literally web-based.
Our founder, Cornelius "Big Daddy" Longlegs III, believed that every creature — regardless of leg count — deserved access to fair, transparent financial products.
What started as a single silk strand has grown into a nationwide web of financial services, serving over 8 million borrowers across all 50 states and 14 corners.
"To spin accessible, affordable financial products for every creature, regardless of species, segment, or leg count. Because financial freedom shouldn't require a vertebral column."
What We Stand On (All 8 Legs)
Transparency
We never hide in dark corners. Our rates, terms, and silk compositions are always fully visible. Unlike some spiders, we have nothing to hide.
Strength
Our silk is 5x stronger than steel, and so are our rates. We build financial products that last through rain, wind, and market volatility.
Patience
We wait for the right opportunity to strike... a deal. Good things come to those who wait in the corner. Daddy always has a plan.
