What Shiboleth does

Shiboleth automates consumer lending compliance for financial institutions using AI. Banks and fintechs use us to save months of manual work by automating audits and drafting reports for the governments. LLMs allow whole categories of manual compliance processes to be automated in ways that weren’t possible until recently. We are excited to automate back-office operations and enhance consumer protection in one of the most litigious industries.

Automates lending compliance for banks

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

We built an AI-driven platform that automates consumer lending compliance for financial institutions. Our product replaces manual audits and report drafting by using large language models to process loan data and generate government-required compliance documentation. This saves banks and fintechs months of manual work while improving accuracy and mitigating regulatory risk.

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

We live in San Francisco, and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we are located, gives us access to talent and customers in financial technology, and YC itself is based here, so it makes sense to stay local.
