Founders & story · from Nav’s own dossier

Founded in 2012 as Creditera, Nav rebranded and repositioned as a 'Credit Karma for small businesses,' offering free access to personal and business credit reports and scores. The company then expanded into a financing marketplace, matching small business owners to lending products based on their credit profile and approval odds. Nav has since integrated embedded banking infrastructure via Unit and lending partners like Fundbox to deepen its financial services stack for SMBs.
