Episode Highlight:

00:27 - Our challenge probably is not too dissimilar from anyone else starting something that's never been done. Something that people ask, "Well, if this is great, why hasn't it been done before?" Those are some of the challenges we have—getting commercial estate lenders to understand that what we're saying is actually true. They scratch their head, like this sounds almost too good to be true sort of thing. And sometimes when people think that, they start thinking maybe they shouldn't be the first one. In fact, our biggest challenge was getting the first lender to sign up, and then our second challenge was getting the first lender to start using us.
