Kaaj

Kaaj is the agentic AI underwriting operating system for small business (SMB) lending. It helps lenders, brokers, equipment finance companies, merchant cash advance (MCA) funders, and community banks turn messy borrower packages into decision-ready credit analysis in under five minutes. Specialized AI agents handle document intake and classification across 40+ document types, Know-Your- Business (KYB) verification, bank statement analysis and cash-flow spreading, fraud and document-tampering detection, and evidence-backed credit memo generation, with a human-in-the-loop by design. Kaaj layers onto existing underwriting operations through email intake, embedded forms, a REST API with webhooks, and CRM/LOS integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics). Founded in San Francisco in 2024 by Utsav Shah and Shivi Sharma, Kaaj is SOC 2 Type II compliant and has processed over $15B in loan originations.

Kaaj publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Fintech, Lending, Underwriting, and Credit Risk.

Kaaj’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, pricing, support, YouTube channel, and 13 more developer resources.
