Genius raises $10M to scale AI-native mortgage platform
We've closed a $10M venture round led by Mercury Ventures, with participation from Calano Fund and Connexia Capital — fuel to bring more originators onto the platform.
Today we're announcing that Genius has closed a $10 million venture round, led by Mercury Ventures with participation from Calano Fund and Connexia Capital. It's fuel for what we've been building from day one: the first end-to-end mortgage intelligence platform.
For decades, originating a loan has meant stitching together a dozen systems that don't talk to each other — a CRM, a pricing engine, a point of sale, an LOS, a back office, and a capital markets desk, each with its own data and its own blind spots. The result is slow files, lost loans, and basis points that vanish in the gaps.
Who's backing us
We're thrilled to partner with Mercury Ventures as the lead of this round, alongside Calano Fund and Connexia Capital. They share our conviction that the entire mortgage — not a single slice of it — belongs on one intelligent platform, and they've backed the team to go build it.
Why we're building Genius
When the CRM, PPE, POS, LOS, back office, and capital markets all share a single source of truth, an intelligence can finally read the whole loan instead of a fragment of it. That's what unlocks real automation: agents that triage documents, clear conditions, and route every loan to its best execution — automatically. And connecting originators directly to capital markets means the basis points that used to disappear in the middle stay with the people who originate the loan.
What the round means
This capital lets us go faster on what matters most: expanding the platform, growing the team, and bringing more loan officers and brokers onto the rails. We're grateful to our investors for backing the vision — and to the team turning it into software every day.
We're just getting started. If you're a loan officer who wants to originate on a platform built for the AI era, or a broker looking for a smarter wholesale partner, we'd love to talk.
