SelfScore is an analytics-based lending company providing access to financial products for a deserving but underserved population of international students in the US. We`re developing a strong market niche around providing access to financial products (credit cards, student loans, etc) to this population of students (1M+ strong and growing with $31 billion in untapped annual spending). International students are routinely granted access to the US educational system and all the advantages it has to offer. However, no clear path exists for them to gain access to the credit markets. The current credit policies handicap them, leaving them unable to get a credit card, student loan or car lease without paying exorbitant costs/fees. We want to provide them with a financial on-ramp and put them on a path towards financial success in America.
The senior members of the team, including Edward Geiser, Richard Gordon and Kevin Cumming, initially began working together over 15 years ago. They have over 65 years of collective energy experience and have been involved with over 40 distinct private investments in the North American energy industry with $650MM+ of private equity capital invested since 2003. Juniper`s investment size fills a void in the energy market by targeting smaller investments than those targeted by larger energy-focused private equity funds and most strategic acquirers. Juniper`s target investment size of $25 to $75 million per investment is large enough to create significant value with high-quality management teams, but small enough to avoid “widely-shopped” investment opportunities. The investment focus of Juniper is upstream E&P investments targeting established onshore basins in the US. Juniper partners with experienced operators with basin-specific expertise.
