Cosa fa Karoo

US consumers within the risk appetite of prime lenders are served by the most competitive and efficient consumer lending marketplace globally. However, once you fall outside of this as a borrower, market efficiency breaks down and incumbents take advantage of low levels of competition to price gouge. We're fixing this.

AI native consumer lending for underserved Americans

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

We are building an AI-driven consumer lending platform targeted at Americans who fall just outside prime lender risk profiles. Our product creates a competitive lending marketplace for borrowers underserved by traditional prime lenders, reducing price gouging by incumbents and improving access and pricing through AI-enabled risk assessment and marketplace efficiency.

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

We currently live in Toronto, ON, Canada and the company is based here. After YC, we would remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Toronto is our home and where our team and network are strongest. We know this market well and can build and operate efficiently here, even though we serve U.S. consumers.
