I worked for a P2P site for investors of the peer lending market for 3 years. About 30% of my time was spent on our Prosper integration. Tldr: Prosper is the Barnes and Noble to LendingClub’s Amazon. Go with the bigger market. That said, the whole peer lending market is in a slump and I left not trusting the underwriting of any of these lenders. I am personally withdrawing all of my money out of peer lending.

This. LC and Prosper get paid for underwriting, rather than for the loans being repaid. Their incentives are all wrong...
