Karoo

AI native consumer lending platform for underserved Americans

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.
