At Climb, our values are in service of schools and students. We strive to uphold our values every day.

Build a better system

Incentives within the education financing system are inherently unaligned. We are part of the move to realign the goals of schools, learners, and financing companies to promote the best interest of our learners.

Succeed Together

Teamwork is the key to success, and we'll only be able to carry out our mission if we do it together with integrity, collaboration, and trust.

Iterate and Experiment

We take calculated risks and do not shy away from large and complicated challenges — we optimize for upside impact more than downside mitigation or effort minimization. No experiment is a failure if it generates insights.

Drive Access & Inclusivity

We don’t think limited credit history or lower credit scores should keep people from an education or career. So we built financing products that are accessible to everyone — and have built Climb Credit Score, a credit scoring service that uses over 150 data points to analyze and assess credit profiles and gain a more holistic view of applicants.

Own the Solution

Accountability and ownership are key with a small team. Every person who works at Climb is a champion for our schools and learners, and when we come across challenges, our first instinct is to drive toward solutions.

We're dedicated to protecting your privacy.

As part of our commitment to data security for our learners and partners, we completed SOC 1 & 2 audits and have earned this badge.
