Sprinto is an early stage SaaS startup that helps companies achieve security compliances (like SOC2, ISO, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS) 10x faster. The space we are in has not seen any innovation in the last couple of decades, but thanks to some macro-changes, we think the space is ripe for a market leader. Our job as founders and early team members is to ensure that Sprinto has a shot at this opportunity. Sprinto is well capitalized from top notch investors like Accel Partners, Elevation Capital, & Blume Ventures. Sprinto has an experienced founding team. Prior to Sprinto, our founders built recruiterbox.com. They bootstrapped it from 2011 to 2017, and scaled it to 2500+ global customers with a team spread across India and US. At the end of 2017, Recruiterbox was acquired by Turn/River capital.

We are providing a complete “business in a box” solution for owner-operators and small trucking carriers at a much lower cost using software engineering, data science and world class operations processes. Our mission is simple — to put more money in the hands of truck drivers and reduce their headaches. CloudTrucks will improve the three core metrics that every truck driver cares about — revenue, cash-flow and costs. We focus on the owner-operator and small trucking companies because they are the lifeblood of the industry and facing the largest pressures with fast rising insurance rates, predatory factoring options and a quickly changing landscape. It’s more important than ever to have someone in their corner whose incentives are 100% aligned with theirs.

Small and Medium Business (SMB) are the backbone of our economy, yet they struggle to get capital essential to grow their business as the current financial system determines capital eligibility based on the ability to jump application hoops rather than the health of the business. We at Parafin want to change this. We want to enable businesses that serve these SMBs and are in a unique position to help these SMBs to offer them growth capital. We abstract away all the complexity of offering growth capital into easy to integrate APIs and SDKs.

Between them they have a Pure Math PhD from Stanford, Particle Physics PhD from CERN, the title of Putnam Fellow, discovered the Higgs-Boson and have opened sourced Faust.
