What believers are saying
- Robert Humann became CEO in September 2025, sharpening execution under Fox oversight.
- Credible launched fresh September 2026 rate pages for mortgages and student loan refinancing.
- Insurance shopping remains live in August 2026, creating cross-sell across two large verticals.
What critics are saying
- July 2026 student-loan rule changes killed grad PLUS demand, shrinking refinance volume.
- Mortgage-rate pages showing NaN basis points signal data-quality issues and weaker marketplace trust.
- If lender partners tighten pricing, Credible loses traffic, commissions, and relevance fast.
What makes Credible unique
- Fox Corporation owns Credible and moved oversight under Tubi Media Group in 2025.
- Credible still spans loans and insurance, unlike single-product competitors like LendingTree.
- Its 2026 site sells prequalified rates with soft-pull comparison across lenders and carriers.

Breef, a platform that allows brands to manage and service marketing agency projects, today announced that it raised $16 million in a Series A round (an undisclosed portion of which was debt) led by Greycroft with participation from BDMI, UTA.VC, Afterpay’s Touch Ventures and UC Berkeley’s The House Fund. The new capital brings Breef’s total raised to $21 million, which co-founder and CEO George Raptis says will be put toward continuing to develop the company’s product and growing the size of Breef’s workforce from 30 people to roughly 60 by 2024.“Breef’s latest funding will be used to continue to evolve the product offering — a new ‘from the ground up’ platform is being launched with the funding announcement — and grow its global team, announcing its first international bases in the U.K. and Australia,” Raptis told TechCrunch via email. “The company will also invest further in its payment infrastructure, allowing structured payments for brands looking to ‘grow now, pay later.'”Breef was co-founded in 2019 by Emily Bibb and Raptis. Bibb previously worked in marketing and in-house ad agencies as well as startups such as PopSugar and VSCO. Meanwhile, Raptis helped to launch Credible.com, the online loan marketplace that was acquired by Fox in 2019.Both Bibb and Raptis attribute their wanting to start Breef to a shift in the way of agency work
