What Zolvo does

Commercial lenders manage billions in assets but service their loans like it's 2005: spreadsheets, legacy software, and teams of people doing manual reconciliation all day. Zolvo replaces that entire back office with AI. We automate reconciliation, verification, collections, and reporting so lenders can scale their portfolios without scaling their teams. We're building the operating system for commercial lending

AI that automates servicing for commercial lenders

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

We've built an AI-backed platform that automates loan servicing tasks for commercial lenders. Our product replaces manual reconciliation, verification, collections, and reporting workflows that lenders still do with spreadsheets and legacy tools. It cuts down the back-office labor needed for managing billions in assets, letting lenders scale their loan portfolios without scaling their teams.

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 there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're already in San Francisco, which puts us close to early customers and fintech talent. Staying local after YC avoids disruption and leverages our existing network.
