About the company:
Our mission is to help make life simpler for homeowners.
Buying a home is the biggest financial decision and milestone for most Americans. But homeownership - especially for first-time owners - is complex and stressful.
We experienced this ourselves as first-time homeowners and heard similar stories from hundreds of other homeowners. We founded Haven to reduce the complexities of homeownership for all parties involved.
By connecting homeowners, brokers, lenders, servicers, and providers via a digital platform, Haven facilitates new, creative ways to support millions of Americans.
The incumbent technologies used by mortgage lenders and servicers are decades old, and the borrowers who are served by them increasingly demand modern digital experiences and frictionless financial products throughout the home journey. Haven’s mission is to deliver them at a transformational scale, and to improve lives in one of the world’s largest asset classes.
We are well capitalized, backed by top fintech and mortgage venture funds, and led by seasoned veterans of tech startups and financial marketplaces.
