What Fragment does

Fragment’s premise is that every company using AI will need humans in the loop, and software for the handoff between AI and humans. We start by helping operations teams in fintech companies with task management for their manual processes (onboarding, compliance…). Building on top of this, we make it easy to increase automation by adding a layer of human supervision.

We build software that streamlines the handoff between AI and humans in operations teams, starting with fintech. Our product manages manual processes like onboarding and compliance, letting teams coordinate tasks and add human supervision easily to automation workflows.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We don't specify a location publicly. After YC we'd base the company where it best suits our customers and team growth.

Location decisions will focus on proximity to fintech clients and talent, though we remain flexible.
