An AI-First Mortgage Startup?
One startup founder has 60 seconds to pitch to two venture investors!
And today, we’ve got a founder aiming to modernize a $2.3 trillion industry – mortgage lending.
It's Episode 074 of The Feedback Loop, featuring Suketu Gaglani building Mira Labs!
It's an AI co-pilot that wants to transform the agonizing, paperwork-heavy process of getting a home loan – for everyone involved.
The big idea? Smaller brokers can’t afford the slick tech stacks of giants like Rocket or Better. Mira changes the game by automating everything from document reviews to pre‑approvals, slashing a 12‑day manual workflow down to as fast as 48 hours – all without hiring extra processors or underwriters. But will legacy players and entrenched software vendors give Mira enough room to scale?
Today's guest investor was Mike MacCombie, General Partner at Generous Ventures. Mike has spent the past 8 years in venture capital – as an investor, operating + platform partner, community builder, and superconnector, supporting founders at the earliest stage. Find him on X at @MikeMacCombie.
Because the thing that can hold even the best founders back from reaching their ambition? Their pitch. Whether a startup founder is raising money, recruiting a team, or selling their product, it's the pitch at the start of any given conversation that starts them on a journey to success.
We dive into...
A Market Ripe for Disruption – With mortgage processes still stuck in 2005, how can AI co‑pilots turbocharge approvals?
Competing with Direct Lenders – Building standalone tech for brokers, loan officers, and borrowers that rivals the “in‑house” advantage of industry giants.
Time & Cost Savings – 7‑day pre‑approvals reduced to 2? A single processor handling 2x the loans? Investors ask if these benefits truly scale.
Crafting a Clear Pitch – Learn how to highlight your unique impact and stand out from other mortgage or “AI for finance” startups.
As always, hosted by Sherveen Mashayekhi, Founder & CEO of Free Agency. Follow him on X at @Sherveen.
