### What We Do
Pave.dev helps consumer and SMB credit risk teams increase approvals through
AI-powered cashflow analytics.
100 million+ US consumers and businesses are financially underserved, simply
because their data is not recognized by the traditional financial system.
We solve this by transforming transaction data, loan performance outcomes, and
credit reports into Cashflow-driven Attributes and Scores, enabling increased
financial access to new customer segments without increasing risk.
Our mission is to build a future where every person and business has access to
equitable credit solutions by creating a new standard of Cashflow-driven
Analytics.
Pave is backed by [Better
