## About Kastle

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Consumer lending / Mortgage servicing technology (Fintech)
- **Target customers**: FDIC-insured banks, independent mortgage banks (IMBs), and large consumer lenders (B2B, Enterprise)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: To help traditional financial services companies better interface with their customers by automating high-volume phone calls with compliant AI agents.

## Products & Services
- **Avery (Servicing Agent)**: AI voice agent that handles borrower inquiries, payment collection, escrow questions, and loss mitigation. Integrates with ICE’s MSP system.
- **Collections Agent**: Automates payment reminders, engages delinquent borrowers early, and recovers past-due accounts.
- **Compliance Agent**: Monitors and scores every interaction against regulations (FDCPA, TILA, UDAAP, RESPA, TCPA) for 100% QA coverage.
- **Loan Officer Assistant**: Qualifies new loan inquiries and automates pre-qualification calls.
- **Sentinel (QA & Compliance Agent)**: Real-time monitoring and automated scorecards for borrower calls and servicing documentation.
- **Agent Builder**: Allows lenders to turn SOPs into AI agents using natural language, with no-code configuration.
- **Platform features**: Omnichannel support (voice, SMS, email, chat), simulation testing, transparent observability, and integration with existing contact center, payment processor, and LMS systems.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed (private startup)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $510,000 (Pre-seed round led by Y Combinator, June 2024)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator (lead), ICE Mortgage Technology (integration partner)
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount: 10 employees (+66.7% YoY)
  - Won LendingTree’s 2024 Innovation Challenge (Nov 2024)
  - Featured in a16z’s February 2025 fintech newsletter on voice AI
  - Integration with ICE’s MSP servicing system (April 2026)
  - Most deployed AI voice agents in the mortgage industry (per website)
  - Active job postings: 8 positions, with 300% yearly increase in listings

## Competitive Advantages
- **Purpose-built for compliance**: Pre-trained on key lending regulations (FDCPA, TILA, UDAAP, RESPA, TCPA) with a proprietary Compliance Engine.
- **Enterprise-grade integrations**: Direct connectivity with ICE’s MSP (the dominant mortgage servicing system) and other core systems.
- **Fast time to value**: Go-live in days with out-of-the-box agents that map to existing workflows.
- **Transparent AI**: All responses are fully explainable with built-in reasoning, enabling audit-ready operations.
- **Battle-tested track record**: Claims to have the most deployed AI voice agents in the mortgage industry, with proven metrics (70% lower cost per call, 40% lower handle time, 90%+ CSAT).

## Strategic Focus
- Deepening integrations with core mortgage systems (e.g., MSP) to reduce friction for large lenders.
- Scaling the AI agent workforce across the full lending lifecycle (origination, servicing, collections, compliance).
- Expanding from voice to true omnichannel (SMS, email, chat) and adding more pre-built agent types.
- Growing the enterprise customer base among FDIC-insured banks and IMBs.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Early-stage YC startup with a small, high-agency team (10 people). Founders have strong product/engineering backgrounds (Redfin, Verkada). Emphasis on building mission-critical AI for a regulated industry.
- **Work policy**: Based in San Francisco (185 Channel Street). Likely in-office given the early stage and need for close collaboration.
- **Notable perks/engineering culture**: Opportunity to work on proprietary inference technology, compliance engine, and real-time AI systems. Roles span applied AI, forward deployment, and product management. High ownership and impact from day one.
- **Growth trajectory**: Rapid headcount growth (66% YoY), multiple open roles, and strong market traction suggest significant career growth potential.
