Bondora operates a five-market lending and investment platform (Estonia, Finland, Spain, Netherlands, Latvia) with nearly 200,000 borrowers and 250,000 investors. The tech stack is Microsoft-centric (Azure, .NET, C#) paired with modern data/ML infrastructure (Databricks, dbt, TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn), revealing a data-driven credit underwriting operation.
