About Pollen
Summary
Pollen builds AI employees for financial services firms, trained on each firm's specific workflows to execute document-heavy tasks, from portfolio reviews to tax provisions, in minutes. The agent, called a Pollenator, learns a firm's processes once and then runs them autonomously, replacing the manual analyst work behind recurring deliverables like LP reports, credit packages, and underwriting memos.
Business model
Fee to hire an AI employee trained on the firm's workflows.
Go-to-market
Financial services firms, including asset managers, lenders, and insurers, adopt Pollen by booking a demo and onboarding a custom AI employee configured to their existing workflows.

Then, Pollen tells your team exactly which accounts need attention today and decides what to do next.
