    Company Description

    Getting a mortgage loan should be no more difficult for a borrower than filing a tax return using TurboTax. The current state of the industry is unsatisfactory. Obtaining a loan is a long, convoluted, and cumbersome process. It is also expensive and inefficient: sometimes it is difficult to qualify, and in many cases, the result is suboptimal - both in terms of the rate of the loan, and its price. The main reason for these inefficiencies is that the process is human-operated. We are teaching a robot to do this job for the whole US market. Two trends are happening. One is the digitization of the back-end communication between the mortgage ecosystem participants in the back end. The other one is the availability and constant improvement of engineering-grade toolsets for AI.It is now feasible to create a service that connects to hundreds of lenders, utilizes modern NLP, and ML technologies, and fully automates the workflow based on implementing the Knowledge Graph database with all the rules, relationships, mortgage products, and understanding of documents. The success of applying the digital transformation, AI, and data science methods to a traditional industry depends on combining the technical chops with in-depth domain knowledge of the existing rules, processes, and peculiarities. Teams focused exclusively on AI methods fail because of the under-appreciation of this domain expertise. Our team includes three competencies: seasoned mortgage professionals with this kind of formal and informal knowledge, Silicon Valley industry veterans, who have built successful cross-discipline products, and companies before, and young data scientists eager to apply their NLP and AI skills to practical problems.
