Clerkie, a San Francisco, CA-based AI-powered financial automation platform, announced that it raised $33 million in Series A funding, bringing its total raised to $41 million.
The round was led by Left Lane Capital with participation from Wellington Management Company, Flourish Ventures, Citi Ventures, CMFG Ventures, and Vestigo Ventures. Fintech visionaries David Velez, founder of Nubank, and Tom Proulx, founder of Intuit, also participated in the round.
The funds will be used to grow the engineering team and rapidly scale the company's debt workout solutions to support more partners and help more borrowers.
"The consumer debt market is fundamentally broken for consumers and the creditors that serve them, as evidenced by the predatory collections practices and the crushing amount of debt burdening American families," said Guy Assad, CEO and co-founder of Clerkie. "Today, tens of millions of Americans are struggling with their debts and are falling into delinquency. It's a lose-lose situation for the borrowers and for the banks who are racking up billions in losses. Our goal is to support struggling American families by giving them better tools to responsibly fulfill their debt obligations and ease their debt burden."
Today, Clerkie's proprietary platform has become the go-to tool for creditors looking to manage their loan losses while simultaneously helping millions of borrowers get out of debt and improve their credit. The platform uses several data points to identify and help potentially delinquent borrowers avoid default.
