AdvanceIQ.ai has launched the AIQ Platform, one analytics system serving SMB lenders and private credit investors, among them originators and investors in merchant cash advances (MCA) and revenue-based finance (RBF). The New York company announced the product on Feb. 5, 2026.
What the platform includes
AdvanceIQ.ai says the platform is meant to replace a patchwork of spreadsheets, static reports and disconnected tools across underwriting, portfolio management and capital allocation. As SMB alternative lending increasingly overlaps with private credit and institutional capital, the company argues lenders and investors need a shared, consistent view of risk, performance and portfolio dynamics. The platform has three parts:
- PortIQ: portfolio intelligence covering performance analysis, attribution, benchmarking, forecasting and operational insights.
- SMB RiskIQ (SRI): AdvanceIQ's own risk scoring and segmentation model, trained on how SMB credits have actually performed and covering MCA and RBF portfolios extensively.
- ARIA: an AI layer that takes in portfolio analytics, risk signals and relevant news, then answers in plain language with insights and decision support.
The company says the pieces work as one system and are designed to connect directly to existing CRMs, origination and servicing systems, marketplace platforms and internal data environments. It also plans to embed the tools in third-party systems run by platform and technology partners.
Customer view
Daniel DeMeo, CEO of Lendr, said the PortIQ and SMB RiskIQ combination has given his team a clearer view of portfolio performance and deal quality. He said ARIA helps condense those signals into takeaways the team can review and act on.
Founder and CEO Tomo Matsuo framed the product around the growing complexity of managing risk across a scaling lending portfolio, saying it gives originators and investors a consistent layer for seeing what is working and where risk is emerging.
AdvanceIQ.ai says lenders and private credit participants already use the platform. Demos and trial access are available through AdvanceIQ.ai.
