About Levr

Levr.ai is a Vancouver-based financial technology company developing an intelligent loan platform to streamline access to capital for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Founded in 2021 by CEO Kaylan Pepin and CTO Roman Hartmann, the company aims to simplify the complex process of securing business financing. Pepin, a Chartered Professional Accountant, brings years of experience in financing technology startups at major Canadian banks and identified the challenges qualified businesses face in obtaining and managing loans. Hartmann has a background in data, AI, and machine learning, and is focused on providing customers with ML-driven insights.

The company's core product is an AI-powered marketplace that connects SMBs with over 50 lenders in Canada and the United States. Businesses can connect their banking and accounting software to the platform, which then uses AI and machine learning algorithms to analyze their financial data and match them with suitable loan options. The platform is designed to be free for businesses, generating revenue by charging a commission to the lender when a loan is successfully funded. Levr.ai also offers a white-label loan intake tool for lenders and a platform for brokers to manage the entire loan process in one place, from lender matching to commission tracking.

Levr.ai has seen significant growth, supporting over 2,000 small businesses in North America and processing substantial loan request values. The company has raised a total of $2.5 million in seed funding over multiple rounds, with investors including Weave VC, Sprout VC, and Mavan Capital Partners. This funding is intended to expand its reach and enhance the platform's capabilities across North America.
