Worth AI, an Orlando-founded fintech company headquartered in Winter Park, is expanding its regional operations to support its growing workforce, technological offerings, and regional support.

The Orlando expansion will create 30 high-impact jobs with average annual salaries of $190,000, strengthening Central Florida’s innovation ecosystem.
Founded in 2023 by Sal Rehmetullah, Suneera Madhani, and Jacques Fu, Worth AI is modernizing how financial institutions verify, onboard, and underwrite small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). By leveraging advanced artificial intelligence and data analytics Worth AI transforms onboarding and underwriting processes to decide in seconds instead of weeks.
“The continued growth of Worth AI is another strong signal that the Orlando region is building momentum as a hub for technology-driven innovation.”
Sheena Fowler, Orlando Economic Partnership SVP of Innovation & Economic Development
“We are proud to assist Worth in its expansion and help our region’s high-growth companies scale and succeed in Central Florida and beyond,” said Sheena Fowler, Orlando Economic Partnership SVP of Innovation & Economic Development
The company’s continued growth follows a $30 million Series A funding round and the launch of its recently unveiled Decision Intelligence platform. Worth AI utilizes data from more than 350 million verified SMB profiles across over 200 countries and territories, maintaining an industry-leading match rate of more than 98%.
The Orlando Economic Partnership assisted Worth AI in securing financing to support its expansion and connections to grants that will help upskill and train its new and existing staff.
Madhani and Rehmetullah previously co-founded Stax, formerly Fattmerchant, which became Orlando’s first homegrown, female-founded unicorn in 2022 after raising $245 million at a valuation of more than $1 billion. Their decision to build Worth AI in the region continues that legacy and reinforces Orlando’s strength as a launchpad for high-growth technology companies.
Worth AI’s expansion advances Orlando 2045 by creating high-wage jobs, scaling homegrown innovation, and demonstrating that founders can build their next big idea here. Investments like this strengthen the region’s talent and technology ecosystem while moving Orlando closer to its vision of becoming the next global creative capital.
