What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an online mortgage broker that uses your income, credit score, and other financial details to negotiate with hundreds of lenders instantly. Instead of making users jump between banks, deal with multiple credit checks, or meet in person, our platform gets them the best mortgage offers quickly and easily, guiding them from application straight through to closing.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Toronto, ON, Canada, and the company will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Toronto has a strong fintech community and the financial ecosystem needed to build mortgage technology. We have local ties and expertise here, so it makes sense to keep building the company in Canada.
