Drip is a financial technology company building modern infrastructure to make trade finance and B2B commerce easy and accessible for small businesses worldwide. Its AI-native, predictive underwriting and processing engine streamlines credit assessment and automates end-to-end transaction workflows. To date, Drip has facilitated more than $8 billion in cross-border trade for 11,000 businesses across 60 countries.
Working to close the $1.8 trillion global trade finance gap, Drip enables small and midsize businesses to trade with confidence across borders. The company has built a strong partner ecosystem — including leading capital providers such as Barclays, TD Bank, and the IFC, as well as logistics firms, insurance brokers, and B2B invoicing platforms — to expand distribution and impact. Drip is backed by global investors including Accel, Sequoia, Wing VC, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and Y Combinator.
AI is helping global trade run smoothly, but it also risks locking in the wrong data, potentially shutting out developing economies from global trade for good.
Treating trade data as a responsibly governed global public good can turn invisible collateral into one of the few scalable, system-wide levers capable of narrowing the financing gap.
