The AI Employee for Banks

Kastle is building the AI employee for banks. Their agents automate operations across mortgage servicing, consumer lending, and other parts of the bank back office. Today they work with 10 of the top 25 mortgage servicers and have processed more than $2 billion in transactions using AI agents. They just raised a $24M Series A, two years after going through YC.

In this episode of Founder Firesides, Kastle founders Rishi and Nitish sat down with YC's Diana Hu to share how they went back to zero one month before Demo Day and found their way to one of the hardest places to deploy AI: banking. They talk about finding their first customers and what it takes to make AI agents reliable enough to handle real financial transactions.
