The story

Founded in 2015 as FunnelDash, the company initially offered analytics and reporting dashboards for digital marketers. It pivoted sharply toward embedded finance, launching AdPay (ad spend financing) and AdCard (a corporate charge card with cashback on ad spend) around 2020, partnering with Sila and Evolve Bank & Trust for payment infrastructure and card issuance. The company rebranded entirely as Dash.fi in 2021, positioning itself as the default payment and financial OS for high-spending digital advertisers and agencies rather than a SaaS analytics tool.
