Hum Capital Named “Business Lending Platform of the Year” in 2026 FinTech Breakthrough Awards Program
Prestigious Annual Awards Program Celebrates a Decade of Recognizing the World’s Most Innovative Financial Technology Companies
NEW YORK, NY — Hum Capital, a pioneering AI-powered investment platform and provider of non-dilutive capital to lower middle market businesses, has been named “Business Lending Platform of the Year” in the 10th Annual FinTech Breakthrough Awards program — one of the most prestigious honors in global financial technology.
FinTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization recognizing the top companies, technologies, and products in the global FinTech market, spotlights leaders across Digital Banking, Lending, Payments, Investments, RegTech, InsurTech, and more. This year’s program marks a decade of recognizing the companies driving measurable innovation across the global fintech ecosystem.
Hum sits at a rare intersection in capital markets as an AI-powered technology platform that triangulates each company’s unique capital needs against the highly tailored investment criteria of every participant in its Intelligent Marketplace — including Hum’s own balance sheet. Rather than casting a wide net and hoping for the best match, Hum AI performs precision capital matching at the source, ensuring companies reach only the right investors and investors see only the right deals.
Hum delivers AI-powered insights that transform raw financial and operational data — drawn from accounting systems, transaction platforms, bank accounts, CRM systems, documents, and more — into investor-ready materials. Those insights are then screened against Hum’s network of 900+ institutional investors with pinpoint accuracy, accounting for each lender’s specific underwriting criteria, risk appetite, and deployment mandate.
“Hum offers data-driven capital matching instead of gut-driven networking,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, FinTech Breakthrough. “Hum transforms private capital markets by making access to tailored growth funding faster, fairer, and grounded in real economic performance instead of luck or elite networking. Hum’s data and analytics significantly reduce the time it takes to secure funding. This kind of innovation makes Hum our choice for ‘Business Lending Platform of the Year!'”
“What makes Hum genuinely different is that we don’t just connect companies to capital — we engineer the match,” said Andrew Eisen, CEO of Hum Capital. “Hum AI triangulates a company’s precise capital profile against the specific investment mandate of every participant in our network, including our own balance sheet. That means businesses reach investors who are already aligned with their stage, structure, and growth trajectory — and investors receive deal flow that is pre-qualified against their exact criteria. We built Hum to eliminate the friction, guesswork, and gatekeeping that have long defined private capital markets, and to replace them with speed, precision, and a genuine partnership in our clients’ success.”
With Hum’s Intelligent Marketplace powered by Hum AI, investors benefit from pre-screened, analytics-rich deal flow matched to their specific underwriting criteria. Businesses benefit from Hum’s unique approach to fundraising advisory and capital deployment, blending automation with human expertise to accelerate term sheets and capital commitments that unlock capital with speed and precision.
