We recognize America as our home, where local Credit Unions, known for their member-centric approach, deserve greater financial participation than larger banks. Recognizing the technical limitations and smaller development teams of many Credit Unions, we saw an opportunity to partner with and enhance their digital service offerings. This vision gave birth to Clutch.

Chris Coleman and Nicholas Hinrichsen, our founders, first crossed paths at Stanford Business School in 2011. Their journey together started by launching an online platform for used cars. This idea blossomed into Carlypso, an online car marketplace.
After graduating from Stanford Business School in 2013, they joined the startup accelerator YCombinator, and raised Venture Capital in 2015. The duo's journey reached a new milestone in 2017 when Carlypso was acquired by Carvana.
At Carvana, they continued to apply their expertise, significantly contributing to the company's transformation into the world's largest used car enterprise.

In 2020, Chris Coleman and Nicholas Hinrichsen launched Clutch to streamline the auto loan process for Americans, especially Credit Union members.

By its second anniversary in 2022, Clutch had expanded its software suite to various lending products, partnered with over 50 Credit Unions, and grew its team significantly.
In 2023, Clutch adapted to changing market needs and fluctuating interest rates by launching a digital platform for opening deposit accounts. This innovation helped Clutch partner with over 100 Credit Unions, further establishing its industry leadership and expanding its team to meet growing demands.
