About Casca
Make Banking Magical
Casca is an AI-native platform transforming small business lending by enabling banks and lenders to originate 10x more loans with 90% less manual effort. Our solutions streamline the entire loan process—from customizable application forms and secure applicant portals to AI-powered assistants, automated document collection, KYB checks, and underwriting. We’ve found product market fit and are scaling our team very quickly. Small businesses are the heart of the American economy. Many banks shy away from providing funding because of the manual effort in pursuing those deals. With us, that changes. We unlock affordable, quick bank funding for the 30M+ small businesses in the US who would otherwise be subject to the high interest rates from predatory online lenders. We are a world-class team of banking & AI experts from Stanford, MIT & Y Combinator. We like to win and we know that the only thing between us and the title is our own ability to improve every day.
