What we’re doing
Owning a home is a huge step in many people’s lives, and is also a foundational part of building financial security and wealth. However, the tools and technology supporting homeownership today are antiquated, dependent on things like fax machines, handwritten documentation, and hours of manual review.
We’re here to change that.
Vesta is the next-generation system of record to power the multi-trillion mortgage market. We believe that we are overdue for a core transformation – that in order to build a fully automated process and fully digital customer journeys, lenders will have to adopt a system of record platform that is modern, open, and orchestrated by best-in-class software workflows.
Who we are
Our founding team is no stranger to the complexities of the financial industry. As early employees at Blend, they spent years together focused on creating modern cloud infrastructure for banks. Now, with Vesta, they are transforming the mortgage industry by creating the most flexible, open, and automated origination experience, benefitting financial institutions and their customers.
And, we’re not alone.
We’ve raised $45M from top tier investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, Conversion Capital, Zigg Capital, and Index Ventures.
Our team is small, but mighty. We are a collection of humans who value humility, empathy, self-awareness, and an orientation towards action. If this sounds like you and you’re excited by the idea of getting in at the ground level to build the infrastructure that will power the future of the financial industry, we would love to hear from you!
