About
Casca is a United States-based AI-native small business lending platform — backed by Y Combinator (S23) with $33 million in total funding including a $29 million Series A in August 2025 led by Canapi Ventures, following a $3.9 million seed in February 2024 from Peterson Ventures and Y Combinator — providing community banks and credit unions with an AI-powered loan origination system that enables lenders to process 10x more small business loans with 90% less manual effort, replacing the spreadsheets, email, and document-chasing workflows that make small business lending unprofitable for most community financial institutions. Founded by Stanford graduates, Casca (formerly Cascading AI) embeds AI agents into each stage of the commercial lending workflow from application intake through underwriting decision.

About
Ankr is a Web3 infrastructure platform offering remote procedure call node access to more than 30 blockchain networks through a globally distributed network of nodes run by independent operators. Unlike centralized providers that operate their own data centers exclusively, Ankr's decentralized architecture routes requests across geographically distributed nodes, improving latency for users in regions underserved by US- or EU-centric infrastructure. Its public free-tier RPC endpoints — available for Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, and dozens of others — have made Ankr one of the most widely used infrastructure providers in the multi-chain developer ecosystem.
