Mortgages are stuck in the past.

Despite mortgages being one of the largest asset classes, the traditional mortgage process is manual and inefficient — for companies and borrowers alike. The outdated ‘mortgage factory’ requires hoards of people, middleware SaaS, and capital markets intermediaries. This has led to record high origination costs despite new software solutions over the last 10 years.

We believe the solution to mortgage is a full stack, multi-product platform built on an intelligent core. AI enables us to transform the ‘mortgage factory’ into software. We’re re-wiring every layer of mortgage, from capital markets to origination, into enterprise-grade APIs built from the ground up.

Pylon is the next generation mortgage infrastructure.

Our values

Put customers first

We live by customer success. Reliable, responsive, and future-proof, Pylon is critical infrastructure to our partners and their borrowers. And we never take that for granted.

Think big

The mortgage industry is stuck in the past. We're tackling the industry from the ground up with bold ideas to re-wire mortgage, one idea at a time.

Practice craftsmanship

“Good enough" isn't in our vocabulary. Craftsmanship is in our DNA. We obsess over every line of code and every pixel on the screen to create the best mortgage platform.

Exceptional results

Our culture thrives on intensity. We hold ourselves accountable for results and celebrate wins together. We hold a high bar and seek exceptional talent with track records of delivering.
