OUR STORY

Mortgages for the modern landscape

The vision for Vesta has been over 5 years in the making. Mike and Devon met in 2016 at Blend, which pioneered the modern mortgage stack. Over the next 4 years, they worked closely together and felt firsthand the pain caused by the antiquated systems supporting the mortgage industry. By 2020, they knew it was time for them to embark on an adventure of their own.

Now, with Vesta, they are transforming these systems by creating the most flexible, open and automated mortgage origination experience, benefitting financial institutions and their customers.
