SpringFour
CoFounder
Prior to the housing and mortgage crisis and well before the current array of FinTech products, the SpringFour (formerly MortgageKeeper) team developed an easy and effective way to use technology to connect homeowners facing foreclosure with trusted local and state resources. Over the past decade, SpringFour has made over 5.4 million referrals via their subscriber network to local programs and financial products for homeowners in need. Today, SpringFour’s vision is to provide all consumers direct access to any available resources needed to create true and sustained financial stability.
