Kabbage
Original posting
Kabbage - San Francisco, CA and Atlanta, GA - http://www.kabbage.com
Kabbage has successfully created a new market niche in providing short-term cash advances to small businesses via a completely-automated underwriting system. After linking Kabbage to a marketplace account, accounting system, or business checking account, users can have funds in their PayPal account in minutes. Data science and machine learning approaches underlie the underwriting model and provide a fertile bed for deeper understanding of (and potentially further products targeting) the SMB ecosystem.
Kabbage has received a metric ton of good press and awards from TechCrunch et al, the fintech industry, and the founders have been on Bloomberg TV and Fox News several times. Investors and board members include former Yahoo! CEOs, Square co-founders, UPS, and a veritable who's who in the VC community -- http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/kabbage
