AI-native lending platform Rezolv has raised $12.5 million [1] in Series A funding led by Norwest Capital.
This investment marks a significant push to integrate artificial intelligence deeper into the financial sector. By automating complex lending lifecycles, the company aims to reduce operational friction for traditional banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs).
Founded by Karan Mehta and Sonali Jindal, Rezolv focuses on AI-driven solutions that span the entire lending process. The company intends to use the new capital to broaden AI adoption across its client base, specifically targeting enhancements in debt collection, sales, risk assessment, and underwriting [1, 2].
The funding round included participation from Vertex and 3one4 alongside the lead investor, Norwest Capital [1, 2]. This capital infusion comes as the platform continues to scale its footprint in the financial technology space.
Rezolv currently supports more than 22 lenders [1]. The company plans to leverage its AI-native architecture to improve credit operations and support a strategic push into international markets [1, 2].
The platform's approach targets the removal of manual bottlenecks in credit operations. By implementing AI across the lending lifecycle, the firm seeks to modernize how financial institutions manage risk and interact with borrowers [2].

The investment in Rezolv reflects a broader trend of 'AI-native' disruption in the fintech sector. Rather than adding AI as a layer to existing legacy software, the shift toward platforms built specifically for AI allows banks to automate high-risk areas like underwriting and debt collection more efficiently. This move suggests that traditional lenders are increasingly relying on third-party AI specialists to remain competitive against agile digital-first challengers.
