The round followed the company's pivot from its earlier OmniAI product to conversational AI agents that handle loan applications and other workflows for banks, credit unions, and lenders.
CEO Tyler Maran and chief technology officer Anna Pojawis, who met nearly a decade ago in a CIBC analyst training program, spent the past 10 months building Monumint after concluding OmniAI lacked a path to a $10 billion or $100 billion outcome.
