Karwan is building a new financial platform for Pakistan’s exporters. We give exporters a USD stablecoin wallet, local banking with cards and expense management, and an AI finance, procurement, and compliance team. We are starting with Pakistan’s $4.6B IT export market before expanding across the country’s $40B+ export economy and, ultimately, other emerging markets. Karwan is being built by a team with deep experience in fintech, startups, and Pakistan’s financial ecosystem. Our CEO and CTO previously built Passfolio, a U.S. investing and banking platform for international customers that reached more than 50,000 funded accounts and approximately $150M in customer assets before being acquired by one of the world’s 20 largest banks. We are an early-stage company building from the ground up. That means talking directly with customers, moving quickly, testing assumptions, and creating products around real problems rather than existing playbooks. Our ambition is to make it substantially easier for businesses and independent professionals in emerging markets to earn globally, receive and manage dollars, run their finances, and grow.

A non-withdrawable wallet that prevents impulse spending and misuse.

Landjourney is the all-in-one platform for agricultural lenders. We build cloud-native software that helps banks double loan-production efficiency: AI-powered origination, automated document collection, white-labeled digital servicing portals, and capital-markets tooling. Agriculture has been underserved by financial technology for decades. A new generation of farmers expects a digital experience, and lenders need to deliver it without giving up the relationships that make ag lending work. That is the gap we close. Relationships should not come at the expense of efficiency, transparency, or certainty. What we build: Origination. An AI-powered loan application with bank-specific smart suggestions that match farmers with the loans they actually qualify for, on any device, online or on the farm. Servicing. A white-labeled portal where borrowers see balances and available credit, request credit releases, and renew loans directly. Data and document collection. Upload a document and a complete loan file assembles itself, organized, data-validated, and checked for missing or inconsistent information in real time. Capital markets. An auto-decisioning model using eligibility criteria from your bank and alternative institutions, so receiving institutions never have to re-originate the loan. The platform is SOC 2 Type II compliant with bank-level security, and automates regulatory reporting requirements such as 1071. Within our first year after launch we signed one of the largest independent ag lenders and the largest cooperative client in the nation. We are a seed-stage team headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, with engineering in Boulder, Calgary and Montreal. The engineering group is small and deliberately senior, which means real ownership over the platform rather than a narrow slice of it. We look for strong work ethic, grit, humbleness, humor, and a genuine interest in the people we build for: farmers and the lenders who serve them.
