What is ArK?
ArK is a precision financing company that empowers tech companies with a combination of financial solutions and know-how, utilising our artificial intelligence platform AIM. AIM uses big data and machine learning to analyse and predict companies’ current and future performance to be used as a foundation for our frontier credit decision making. ArK also shares daily updates of its analytics and insights in a borrower dashboard and through rest APIs for continuous business optimization.

ArK started in 2021 by a six-time-founder/entrepreneur, a world-class AI technology developer, and the veteran banker you always wanted. ArK is headquartered in Stockholm but our employees balance their time between being at the office and working remotely. ArK closed a 165mEUR seed financing round with a mix of equity and debt in early 2022.
