Our Mission

"To build the universal clearinghouse rails that ensure no institution ever has to look a loyal depositor in the eye and say, 'we don't do that.'"

Our Story

The trust proxy that cost us our company.

In 2023 during our seed round, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank froze the equity markets overnight and nearly wiped us out. Seeking absolute stability, we moved our remaining capital from SVB and into a dedicated business account at the local credit union we had trusted for two decades. But when we needed a commercial loan to extend our runway, they lacked the infrastructure to process it and said, "We don't do that.". Instead of funding us, they handed us a broker’s business card.

That referral cost us our company. We spent 90 days of precious runway trapped in a black box—a chaotic, manual nightmare of unsecure emails and disorganized files. Ultimately, the deal died and the loan never funded. We laid off our team, wound down our business, and lost our life savings. Our credit union never even knew what happened. We received zero transparency, updates, or even an explanation from the broker.

Through that wreckage, we found our mission. The $2 trillion commercial financing gap isn't a lack of capital; it's a systemic failure across 9/10 Credit Unions. We are building GlassBox so no institution ever has to look a loyal depositor in the eye and say, "We don't do that" and then blindly hand them a business card.
