Pylon, the startup providing 'mortgage as a service' announced their seed round today with participation from Conversion Capital, Fifth Wall, Peter Thiel and others.
Pylon, the startup bringing a way for lenders and fintechs to embed end-to-end mortgage tools to their existing platforms, will announce today the raise of $8.5 million in seed funding. Conversion Capital led the round, with participation from Peter Thiel, Fifth Wall, Montage Ventures, QED Ventures and Village Global. The round included angel investors from Zillow, SoFi, Ramp, Figure and Blend.
“In order to build a lender or even a mortgage broker, you have to get licensed state by state. You have to become an expert on mortgages, you have to stand up capital markets and raise debt facilities and get approved by Fannie Mae. By the end of it you're looking at at least a few million dollars and one to two years to get set up,” explained Hedge. “I looked at it and was like, ‘this doesn't make any sense’. We've seen banking as a service as a whole.
Founded earlier this year, and recently vetted by Freddie Mac, Pylon describes their offering as a ‘full stack’ approach, providing a white-labeled interface which can pre-fill loan applications, instantly verify income and other assets, pull credit, offer loan products such as mortgages and HELOCs with pre-arranged debt capital, approve borrower applications and comply with regulatory requirements.
