Kafene is a leading point-of-sale financing partner dedicated to empowering flexible ownership solutions for underserved customers nationwide. By enabling our retail partners to offer flexible lease-to-own (LTO) purchase options for prime and nonprime consumers, Kafene helps merchants grow their customer base and meet the growing demand for furniture, appliances, electronics, tires, and other durable goods. Utilizing more than 20,000 data inputs in tandem with cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies, our platform creates a best-in-class experience for both merchants and customers. With over $250 million in sales since inception, we are rapidly growing and looking to expand our team.
We take pride in fostering a dynamic workplace culture that values collaboration, innovation, and mutual support. Our team of 100 is spread between a NYC headquarters, a Wilmington office, and fully remote staff across the country. Last year, we were selected for Built In Startups to Watch and Forbes' Best Startup Employers.
Our sales team operates within a highly data-driven and collaborative environment, emphasizing both analytical rigor and entrepreneurial creativity in our interactions with small to medium-sized merchant partners. Within our dynamic, growth-oriented startup culture, we prize adaptability and an entrepreneurial mindset in pursuit of our goals.
