A $9M pre-Series A for SME lending suggests the market still believes there's room to underwrite small businesses better than incumbents—likely through faster decisioning or alternative data.

If you're in any B2B fintech touching SMEs (payroll, accounting, supply chain), watch whether Sprouts can actually move the needle on approval rates or speed—that's the real moat, not just another lending dashboard.
