Our take
Online lender Better was founded with the goal of overhauling the mortgage process, making it faster, simpler, and more accessible for Americans to buy houses. It has achieved this by digitizing the mortgage process (a traditionally admin-heavy and paper-based system), offering lower-than-standard fees, and helping to eliminate unnecessary barriers to home financing.
This sentiment has seen Better take a significant slice of the competitive mortgage industry, and has funded more than $100 billion in home loans in recent years. While continuing to grow rapidly, Better is notably absent in some states, and often has fewer mortgage options than betmore traditional providers.
The company took itself public via a SPAC in the latter half of 2021 and despite recent reports of layoffs, which has led to both internal and external criticism, the company is expanding, investing recent capital into doubling down on existing businesses and continuing to build out a home purchase experience that is custom-first.
