The Team: 

Upstart’s Home Lending Team is tackling the largest credit market in the world. Our first product, a  Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), aspires to be the best way for homeowners to borrow money. We aim to approve most applicants in minutes and get funds in a few days, compared to a month+ industry average. By applying machine learning and unique data to the underwriting process, we can say yes to more applicants, at competitive rates, while dramatically reducing cost and time required to close.

Our team is a bit like a startup in a larger company, iterating quickly to better serve customers and grow the business. As we scale our HELOC product, we expect to launch a purchase mortgage product to streamline the homebuying process and responsibly expand access to credit.
