Kathryn Petralia Biography

Technology has played a role in Kathryn Petralia's life since her parents gave her a TRS-80 computer at age nine. When Rob Frohwein shared his idea for Kabbage with Kathryn she immediately saw the value in using technology to reexamine lending. She believed funding decisions could be automated based on access to real-time data generated by numerous business operations rather than a lengthy manual process.
Kabbage provides financial services including financing to small businesses using real-time verified data to acquire customers underwrite and manage risk.
Before co-founding Kabbage Kathryn spent nearly 20 years working with large and small companies focused on credit payments and e-commerce. An English major (and Kabbage's resident grammar expert) Kathryn returned to her interest in technology to launch a number of successful startups. As someone who camped her way down the west coast to launch a commerce startup in the mid-90s Kathryn can appreciate the lengths to which small businesses have gone to access capital.
