The Executive Team of PROGRESS in Lending has named the work done by OptiFunder a top industry innovation. OptiFunder announced the release of Greyhound, a highly configurable, modern-day warehouse lending solution.
“We wanted to create a platform for warehouse lenders that would run independent of OptiFunder but leverage the same technology and incredible team,” said CEO Michael McFadden, CFA. “While Greyhound represents a new brand, the underlying software, configurability, and proven rules engine have already routed and funded nearly a million loans with over 70 warehouse lenders.”
The Executive Team of PROGRESS in Lending has named the top industry innovations of the past year. This honor is the Gold Seal when it comes to recognizing true industry innovation. PROGRESS looked for the innovation’s overall industry significance, the originality of the innovation, the positive change the innovation made possible, the intangible efficiencies gained as a result of the innovation, and the hard cost and time savings that the innovation enables industry participants to achieve.
"This award is a true testament to the team at OptiFunder," said McFadden. "Innovation is the core of our business."
