Our mission

We love small businesses!

At Vaya, we love small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) and the entrepreneurs behind them. That's because SMBs make the goods and services we all use every day and they provide jobs and income for most people in an economy. We believe that if SMBs succeed, whole economies and countries prosper! But, we know that succeeding as an SMB is hard for many reasons. One of the big ones is that entrepreneurs struggle to get the credit they need to run and grow their businesses. Our mission at Vaya is to fundamentally unlock access to credit for small businesses everywhere!

Our approach

Embedded Credit

We enable seamless access to credit for SMBs by making it available ubiquitously in the apps and tools they use to run their business.
We are building the tech that will let our partners embed or weave in access to credit so that SMBs can get credit where they are and when they need it. That's why we named the company Vaya — which means to weave in Sanskrit —and why we generally map to the embedded finance landscape. If you’d like to learn more about embedded finance, you can start your exploration with our blog.

Our culture

Who We're Looking For

We know that every company is looking for smart people who can get things done, and of course, we value that too. But, there is more to our culture than the work that has to get done today. We are looking for people we can build meaningful relationships with, people who we can invest in and grow with and who will invest in and grow with us.

That means people who value integrity. It means people who are honest and authentic in what they say, how they think, and how they behave. We have found such people can listen, debate and disagree at the same time; they can admit when they are wrong and learn from their mistakes.

We have found such people to not only grow and learn quickly, but also be fun to work with and learn from. We also value curiosity and autonomy. Folks who are going to energetically wade into complicated problems and do what they need to do figure it out.
