Mortgage lending has lost its way. It’s one of the most manual, fragmented, and costly workflows in financial services for everyone involved. We’re building toward a self-driving mortgage: a world where lenders can spend less time pushing files and more time building trust with borrowers. Our approach is simple in principle, but powerful in execution: an agentic AI copilot that coordinates the full loan lifecycle, from origination through closing, removing bottlenecks and accelerating every step along the way. Today, we’re announcing Balerion AI and our $6M seed round led by @kleinerperkins , alongside @formation_vc , @BoxGroup , and an exceptional group of operators and investors to realize that vision. If you’re a lender who wants to move faster and operate smarter while handling more volume, or if you’re excited by the AI engineering and infrastructure behind a self-driving mortgage, we’d love to talk. axios.com/pro/fintech-de…
