A $3M pre-seed for SME lending AI signals investors still believe there's margin to capture in underwriting—likely because traditional banks remain slow on small-ticket loans. Cimento is probably burning this on data infrastructure, model training, and early customer acquisition to prove default prediction beats incumbent scorecards. If you're building any B2B credit product (supply chain finance, contractor payments, etc.), watch whether they can actually move the needle on approval rates without blowing up loss ratios—that's the real moat, not the AI label.
