An AI-infused startup led by Kansas City serial founder Jannae Gammage is poised to compete against seven other finalists in this fall’s NXTSTAGE innovation showcase in Wichita.

Foresight — a fintech platform that aims to open funding opportunities for underserved borrowers by assessing credit risk, fraud and biases — was selected as finalist for the NXTSTAGE Financial Technology Pilot Competition from among 111 potential competitors hailing from 22 states and 11 countries.

Led by Pipeline entrepreneur Gammage, alongside Alaia Martin, CFO, and Austin-based Joel Ward, CTO, the startup already has backing from Techstars, raised a $500,000 friends and family round, and is positioned to target the CDFI (Community Development Financial Institutions) lending market.
