Case study
Funding Finder
Turned a brokerage idea into a live marketplace: borrowers find the loan that actually fits, brokers see every deal in one dashboard.
Challenge
Commercial, construction and short-term lending is a paper-heavy, slow, anxious process. Borrowers fill long forms without knowing what is actually available. Brokers assemble packs, chase documents, and lose days tracking a deal toward settlement.
The Funding Doctor had a clear thesis: show borrowers the products they can actually get, let them apply once, and give brokers a live picture of every deal — without building a bank.
Solution
Facilitated the kick-off, unpacked the business, named the user problems, and ran competitor research to find the differentiator worth building first.
Designed, built and launched the MVP in three months and under budget: a borrower tool that matches project and capacity to live lender products, with a form that works on a phone, and fee incentives for completing it properly.
Shipped a broker dashboard for sourcing, client management, product research and application review — so a broker can see, in one place, when a client gets funded and when they might get paid.
Outcome
A working commercial loan brokerage platform in market, not a prototype in a drawer.
Borrowers could research real offerings and apply online. Brokers got a real-time deal pipeline instead of a spreadsheet and a prayer.
The broker dashboard provides a clear, real-time picture of deal status so that brokers can understand when their client would get funded and when they might get paid.
