The Boring Industry Quietly Becoming a Trillion-Dollar Category
Intelligent document processing is the unglamorous layer under every regulated industry - the plumbing that turns the mortgage packets, claims files and bank statements no computer could read into data a compliance team will stake a lawsuit on. Reading the page was never the hard part; proving it was read correctly is. As sovereign wealth funds and top-tier VCs write nine-figure checks into 'document processing,' three tribes are fighting over the same ground, and the real prize is not the document. It is permission for software to make the decision a human used to sign.
Shiva Nathan

A former head of Intuit's Platform and Services organization who also held engineering leadership roles at Oracle and CA, he built Onymos around a 'Features-as-a-Service' model that lets companies drop in login, payments, notifications and other features without handing over their data. Onymos has since expanded into AI-driven document processing for healthcare and life sciences through its DocKnow platform, including a collaboration with Mayo Clinic.
