AI to increase payment acceptance and reduce fraud
We built an end-to-end fraud detection and prevention suite for online businesses. It includes an analytics tool to track disputes and fraud trends, an AI system that flags risky transactions for merchants to review, and an AI-driven recommendation engine that suggests rules merchants can apply on platforms like Stripe, Shopify, and Adyen to cut fraud rates proactively.
We're based in San Francisco, CA and will stay here after YC.
San Francisco has the talent and payments ecosystem we need to work closely with other fintech companies and customers.
