Better Mortgage @better-mg

Startup, New York, NY – 51-200 employees

At Better, our mission is to make the experience of getting a mortgage fast, simple, and totally better.

From our office in New York, NY, we are revolutionizing a $12 trillion industry. Americans pay more for housing than for almost all other things combined – 33% of personal consumption expenditure. Yet somehow the mortgage process still takes nearly 50 days, costs over $5,000 in administrative fees, and requires over 225 pages of paper and endless phone calls with commissioned loan brokers. We think this is insane – so we’re fixing it.

Backed with $30M+ in venture funding from Goldman Sachs, Pine Brook, IA Ventures and KCK Group, our team combines leading technologists from companies like Spotify and Google with a mortgage bank that has three generations of experience. Together we’re using data science, machine learning and UX design to make the mortgage experience what it should be -- an enjoyable and exciting part of the biggest transaction in many Americans’ lives.
