July 23, 2014 AvantCredit, an online lending company based in Chicago, has raised $75 million in Series C funding from Tiger Global Management. AvantCredit offers loans of up to $20,000 to "midprime" borrowers who may not be able to obtain loans from traditional banks, removing upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Founded in 2012, AvantCredit has raised over $100 million in equity funding to date and will use the latest round to grow its business in the U.S. and U.K.   FreshBooks, a cloud-based accounting software company headquartered in Toronto, has raised $30 million in a Series A round led by Oak Investment Partners with participation from Atlas Venture and Georgian Partners. FreshBooks helps small business owners manage their time and expenses, send invoices, and collect online payments. Bootstrapped since founded in 2003, FreshBooks will use the new cash to expand its team and accelerate traction.   Airware, a commercial drone development and operation platform, has raised a $25 million Series B round from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Airware customizes the hardware and software for commercial drones, which can be used in a variety of industries from agriculture to construction.
