Last week, the House Small Business Committee held a hearing to discuss the rise of peer-to-peer lending and the availability of capital for small businesses.  The testimony from leaders in the P2P sector provides an overview of the state of the industry and their recommendations regarding additional measures that should be considered to promote continued growth of P2P lending.  You can access the hearing materials and a webcast here:  http://smallbusiness.house.gov/calendar/eventsingle.aspx?EventID=398060.
