Combining Tech and Finance with Julian Fayad
The incredible Julian Fayad of LoanOptions.ai discusses how he combined his tech skills and finance expertise.
Julian was a broker for almost nine years before launching LoanOptions.ai. He built the tech from inside the industry, around the problems he lived with.
1) A broker first
Julian spent almost nine years as a broker before he launched LoanOptions.ai. His finance expertise came from doing the job every day.
- Nearly nine years broking.
- Finance expertise from the front line.
2) Building while broking
He started building what is now LoanOptions.ai six or seven years into his broking career, while he was still seeing the pain points first-hand.
- Started building six to seven years in.
- Built around real pain points.
3) Where tech skills meet finance
Combining his tech skills with his finance expertise meant Julian could solve problems he understood from the inside, rather than building technology for an industry he didn’t know.
- Know the problem before you build.
- Tech works best when it fits the workflow.
The biggest lesson from Julian Fayad
The best broking technology comes from people who know the job. Julian built LoanOptions.ai around the problems he faced as a broker.
