Why Join Us
We're a Series A, fast growing startup and the first platform built specifically for regulated banking: purpose built small language models, a banking ontology, and AI bankers that financial institutions can trust. Our models outperform general purpose LLMs by 30 to 80 percent on banking tasks, and our customers range from community banks and credit unions to large regional and super regional institutions.
Location: NY tri state area preferred, with the ability to be in our New York office every one to two weeks. Miami is a strong second option.
We are a small team doing consequential work, with no layers between the work and the people doing it. Our team includes former regulators, bank operators, and engineers who built the infrastructure behind some of the fastest growing digital banks in the U.S. We are backed by Entropy Ventures and were named 2026 AI Startup of the Year by Tearsheet. Early customers are live and scaling fast.
