Danial Jameel Is Building AI for the Work Banks Never Put in the Brochure
After turning campus confusion into Ready Education, Danial Jameel reunited with longtime collaborators to tackle a less visible maze: the manual back office of banks and credit unions.
Saris AI
Saris AI builds agentic AI workflow agents that automate the repetitive, high-volume back-office work at banks and credit unions - lending, underwriting, compliance, and operations - without replacing the core systems institutions already run. Founded in 2024 by the ex-Oohlala Mobile team, the Montreal- and San Francisco-based company trains agents on each institution's own workflows to execute multi-step tasks under human supervision. In May 2026 it raised a $28.8M Series A led by 8VC to scale deployments and deepen integrations with partners like Fiserv, MeridianLink, and Encompass.
