Our mission is to democratize access to growth capital. At Parafin, we aim to enable and empower small businesses to reach their greatest potential, and to create a world in which their ability to acquire funding isn’t limited to a credit check or an arbitrary set of rules - which historically has limited numerous people from chasing their dream. We don’t believe in stifling innovation. We are a team of dreamers, too - visionaries with innovative fresh ideas, collaborating and executing on a shared vision - and we can map out a new world together. We are located in San Francisco, and we are backed by prominent venture capitalists and the founders of Robinhood, DoorDash, Carta, Chime, and Plaid.
