## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2020 by CTO Blake West and co-founder Mike Sall, Goldfinch Technology Co. operates as a decentralized protocol enabling crypto borrowing without crypto collateral. In January 2022, Goldfinch Technology Co. raised USD 25 million in series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz with Helicap Pte. Ltd., Kingsway Capital, MSA Capital, and Y Combinator. The company has served over 2,00,000 borrowers in 18 countries around the world. 

Goldfinch Technology Co. provides a decentralized credit protocol that creates a way for borrowers to show creditworthiness based on the collective assessment of other participants rather than on their crypto assets. The Protocol is currently used by many borrowers around the world, including PayJoy in Mexico, QuickCheck in Nigeria, Divibank in LatAm, Greenway through Almavest in India, and Cauris in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 

Goldfinch Technology Co. plans to use the series A funding to expand financial inclusion with an open credit protocol.
