Gestalt is an out-of-the-box data warehouse specifically for lenders. We are founders and lending veterans who have been watching lenders spend money to attempt to solve the same problem - a centralized, robust data warehouse as a single source of truth for ALL of their data coming from disparate systems. The premise is solving the problem once - and for all lenders - therefore saving significant time and headache upfront and ongoing, along with providing a better product to help make the lender more successful. They have seen that every lender is doing the same work and incurring cost and time for something that can be out-of-the-box while still allowing the special cases by lender. We have a passion for using this source of truth to help lenders across compliance, bank reporting, and other critical areas where having a third party "certify" the information could be useful. From a market perspective, Gestalt is built for start-up or early-stage lenders because for approximately the same cost as a data engineer, the lender gets a robust data warehouse that would typically take significant money, time and many redos to get to, if ever at all. Gestalt is also great for established lenders who want to scale up their business without scaling up the back office to build and support it.
