New platform - Peer Funding Limited

Peer Funding Limited is a new entrant into the p2p and marketplace lending world. It has been granted full permission to operate a lending platform by the UK financial regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority [FCA], according to a statement by the firm.

Am wondering if Peer Funding Ltd will offer an IFISA ahead of other platforms? However it seems that investors are only now being invited and there is no past history to assess the platform. Pledging £5,000 or £10,000 seems a bit of a step in the dark. Have other forumites looked into this newborn?
I registered an interest some weeks ago [peerfunding.co.uk/]. In an email received today they offer the option of becoming Founder Investors or so-called Early Birds for a 1% or 2% reward as follows:
- Early Bird Silver: 1% uplift reward for a minimum of £5,000 committed to the platform and held for at least one year. The Silver offer is limited to the first 100 Founder Investors responding to the application.
- Early Bird Gold. 2% uplift reward for a minimum of £10,000 committed to the platform and held for at least one year. The Gold offer is limited to the first 50 Founder Investors responding to the application.
Early Birds are encouraged to manage their own portfolio, but can use the Autobid service. Current estimated annual return of between 6% - 12% after fees and bad debts, but before reward payment.
