Our take
Recent years experienced a housing boom, with more than 13 million mortgages closing in the United States. This came despite restrictions limiting traditional ways of buying property. In short, the vast majority of housing deals were done online.
One of the companies fueling this upsurge was Blend, a digital banking platform with the aim of simplifying the mortgage process. The platform is used by major banks and financial institutions to offer mortgages and consumer loans, with Blend processing an average of $5 billion in transactions every day.
Due to the surge in demand, Blend’s revenue increased by 90% in the past few years. While we saw low-interest rates and a rise in demand for mortgage insurance, the demand for Blend’s services could wane if interest rates rise again. To counter any threats, Blend set out a "path to profitability" in 2023 that includes a 28% reduction in its employee base, a product suite enhancement sweep, and a shift in financial leadership.
