At Crane, we’ve been blown away by how much value their early users are already getting from the system."
The seed financing was led by Breega and Connect Ventures to support team expansion ahead of market rollout.

"We started Ophelos to create customer-centric products and services that nurture financially healthy and trusted relationships between consumers and businesses. The debt collection industry felt like a natural starting point because it allows us to understand, diagnose and address many of the underlying issues surrounding financial health. It’s also an industry in desperate need of change towards a more technology-driven, and most importantly, customer-centric approach. We want to create a world where everyone is financially educated, empowered and equal — reimagining the debt collection industry is just a first step towards our larger goal."
