The story

Founded in 2015 as FunnelDash, an analytics tool for digital ad spend, the company pivoted to embedded finance for advertisers by rebranding as Dash.fi and launching a corporate charge card with high credit limits and cashback on ad spend. Over time it layered in AI-powered audit tooling (Ad Pay Protection) and AP automation (Payables Agent), evolving from a card issuer into a financial OS for performance advertisers. The company remains small (17 employees) and venture-backed, with an embedded payments thesis centered on recovering wasted ad spend and optimizing vendor payment flows.
