Our Story

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” -Steve Jobs

We knew there had to be a better solution to the challenges of the Mortgage industry- a tech solution creating consistency and ease for lenders and consumers.

There’s always been human bias at play when it comes to getting a loan, and an approval has never been transparent to the end consumer. We want to change that.

We seek to create an AI-based game changer in a stagnating industry – something that puts the lender at the forefront and in control.

TidalWave can drastically transform your business on multiple fronts. By creating equity and transparency for end consumers, as well as building consistency and lowering costs for lenders, we can effectively reshape the mortgage industry on the back of our super-strong AI engine.

Together, let’s reinvent lending.
