Student Loan Genius Finds $3M

Austin-based Student Loan Genius, which operates employer-sponsored plans to help employees pay off and restructure their student loans, has raised $3M in a seed funding round. The funding came from Gibraltar Ventures, and also included Kapor Capital, Capital Factory, and Village Capital. Student Loan Genius is led by Tony Aguilar.
