A Kansas City fintech’s award-winning efforts to boost working capital access for businesses across the globe not only has built trust among the world’s top enterprises, said Sandy Kemper; it’s positioned C2FO for even greater impact as it transforms the financing landscape for previously overlooked ventures.

“Earning a spot on CNBC’s World’s Top Fintech Companies is a great accomplishment by our team,” said Kemper, founder and CEO of C2FO. “As we approach our near-term milestone of $500 billion in funding for our customers, we are acutely aware of everything that has to be done to meet the global need for more working capital to power economic growth and job creation.”
The C2FO platform — powered by comprehensive industry analytics and cutting-edge AI technology — allows companies to easily accelerate invoice payments from their customers without the barriers of traditional lending and risk-based underwriting. To date, C2FO has funded over $400 billion in on-demand working capital to more than 100,000 businesses worldwide.
The KC-built fintech is recognized in the alternative financing category within CNBC’s awards.
