What Hypercore does

Hypercore is a loan management software for small lenders. We help lenders automate workflows and provide them with real-time analytics and KPIs on their portfolios. Since June we are running paid pilots ($3.5K MRR), 1 LOI ($1.5K MRR). The founding team met while serving together as officers in technological units in the Israeli Defence Forces. We then established together a software development company specialized in fintech projects such as e-wallets and open-banking projects. That’s where we discovered how archaic are the tools lenders use that are ready for disruption. Hypercore is building the tools for private lenders who currently do everything in Excel, culminating in a 'Nasdaq of private loan books' - utilizing the platform to securitize loan books.

Loan management software for private lenders

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build loan management software tailored for small private lenders. Our platform automates their workflows and delivers real-time portfolio analytics and KPIs. Many of these lenders still run everything in spreadsheets. We simplify and scale their operations, with a longer-term plan to allow securitization of loan books.

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

We live and work in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our founding team met while serving together in Israel's Defense Forces tech units and then built fintech products here, so Israel is where we have our networks, expertise, and product-market fit.
