The story

Talaty is an early-stage AI-driven lending infrastructure company targeting SME credit scoring and lending-as-a-service in emerging markets, primarily Morocco and the broader MENA/Africa region. The company's thesis centers on using alternative data and machine learning to underwrite small businesses that lack traditional credit histories. With a lean team of six and two seed rounds in 2024, it remains in the infrastructure-building phase.
