Friday Harbor provides an AI-powered platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time. The platform reads and interprets borrower documents, generates borrower-specific needs lists, underwrites files and flags potential conditions, with each flagged issue including a suggested resolution. Flagged issues include suggested resolutions so loan officers can take action with a single click, aiming to remove complexity, slash origination costs and improve the borrower experience. The company combines fintech expertise with artificial intelligence to serve lenders of all sizes. Friday Harbor is led by CEO Theo Ellis and CTO Jesse Collins and is based in Seattle, WA. It recently raised $6M in seed funding to extend its engineering team and support integrations with mortgage LOS and point-of-sale platforms.
