## About

Founded in 2022 by Omri Yacubovich (CEO) and Ran Magen (CTO), and based in New York, US, Lama AI LTD offers a platform that enables small and medium businesses to access various financial products that are otherwise not available through traditional banking scoring systems. In June 2026, Lama.AI Ltd. raised USD 12 million in series A funding led by EJF Capital, with participation from Viola Group, Hetz Ventures, SixThirty, Fin Capital, and 1st & Main Growth Partners. The firm’s investors, advisors, and partners include Bluevine, Fundbox, HSBC, Citizens, etc. 

The company employs an AI-powered platform that allows banking institutions, fintech, and other financial institutions to offer a broader range of financial products such as term loans, lines of credit, ABL, factoring, letters of credit, SBA loans, and more to small and medium businesses. The platform enables the firm's partner institutions to serve a broader consumer base while staying within their risk tolerance criteria.

The company intends to use the October 2022 funding to further develop its product and unlock credit opportunities for small-medium businesses.

The recent Series A funding of $12 million will be utilized to expand its go-to-market, sales, and marketing teams, while further developing and scaling its AI solutions for the banking sector.
