What began as an idea in a parent's kitchen has blossomed into a transformative force in the financial technology sector. Ocrolus was founded in 2014 by Sam Bobley, who, at the age of 22, embarked on a journey to solve a significant challenge in the financial industry: the manual and error-prone process of analyzing financial documents. The initial spark for Ocrolus came from the convoluted world of Medicaid application processing, where the sheer volume of financial paperwork created massive inefficiencies. This firsthand observation of a broken system fueled the creation of a platform that could automate and bring precision to document-driven workflows. The company's early days were characterized by a relentless drive to build a technology that could read and understand financial documents with unparalleled accuracy, a stark contrast to the existing OCR solutions that fell short.

Today, Ocrolus stands as a leader in AI-driven document automation, serving a diverse clientele that includes some of the biggest names in fintech, mortgage lending, and banking like PayPal, SoFi, and Plaid. The company's innovative approach combines the power of artificial intelligence with a human-in-the-loop verification process, ensuring over 99% accuracy in data extraction. This unique fusion of machine intelligence and human oversight has become the cornerstone of their success, enabling lenders to make faster, more informed, and more confident credit decisions. From its humble beginnings, Ocrolus has grown into a global team with a strong presence in New York City, empowering financial institutions to level the playing field for borrowers by providing expanded access to credit at a lower cost. The journey from a kitchen table startup to a key player in the digital lending ecosystem is a testament to the company's unwavering commitment to innovation, accuracy, and its mission to revolutionize financial services.
