“Home Lending Pal (HLP) began in 2017 when Bryan Young, a global digital transformation consultant, and Steven Better joined forces to revolutionize the mortgage industry. Bryan, a seasoned entrepreneur with successful exits from five companies, leveraged his expertise in digital marketing and strategy, recognized early by Marketo. In 2022, he joined Quontic Bank’s board, becoming one of the first Latino and African American members, significantly raising brand awareness and revenue.

Inspired by helping his mother become a homeowner, Bryan founded HLP, which has since assisted over 50 friends and family. HLP boasts a 78% active user base and a 53% landing page conversion rate. Supported by Freddie Mac HomeX Initiative and Mastercard, HLP aims to automate homebuying for younger and underserved communities, expanding into markets like Canada, the UK, and Australia.”
