BLND

Blend Labs, Inc.

A maker of cloud software that helps banks, credit unions, and lenders move mortgages and consumer loans—like home equity lines, auto loans, and credit cards—from application to closing, replacing paper-heavy paperwork with a streamlined digital process. It was founded in 2012 by former Palantir executive Nima Ghamsari, who wanted to modernize the notoriously slow mortgage experience. The name "Blend" reflects its mission of blending once-disconnected systems and workflows into one seamless digital experience.
