New Frontier Funding Secures Growth Capital from Homsher Family Office to Scale AI-Driven SMB Lending

SAN DIEGO, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- New Frontier Funding, a pioneer in leveraging generative AI to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) find credit and debt funding, today announced it has closed a significant round of growth capital from the Homsher Family Office.

The investment highlights the power of generative AI in production to solve a systematic and complex problem: getting more capital into the hands of business owners.

Currently, 68% of U.S. SMBs are undercapitalized, while private credit funds hold over $1.3 trillion in unutilized capital. The problem is not supply and demand, it's connecting the two.

New Frontier bridges this gap by taking the side of the business owner, assessing their business, and then making introductions to the few capital sources who are most likely to fund their company. This process saves time, and results in better capital from high-integrity lenders.

The company uses its proprietary data and fine-tunes OpenAI's language models for semantic search and agentic workflows to reduce back-office work and accurately match borrowers with lenders.

This round of growth capital will fund technology infrastructure, continued development of AI, and making additional leadership hires to keep the business on its 400% year-over-year growth trajectory.

The terms of the transaction were undisclosed.
