Built on a legacy of financial innovation

Meet the team that scaled one of the UK's fastest-growing fintechs, and why we've returned to transform the mortgage industry.

Our story: from HubSolv to Olmo

In January 2021, our founders, Lewis Black and Fraser Hamilton, successfully exited HubSolv, a market-leading SaaS platform that redefined insolvency and debt management. HubSolv was both a business success and a technical benchmark for how sensitive financial data should be handled at scale.

  • The Deloitte Fast 50

    Before its acquisition, HubSolv was recognised as one of the fastest-growing technology companies in the UK and Europe, ranking in the Deloitte Fast 50.

  • A proven track record

    We didn't just build software; we built an industry standard that empowered thousands of financial professionals to automate complex, regulated workflows.

  • The exit

    Following the successful sale in January 2021, the team identified the next great friction point in finance, leading directly to the birth of Olmo.

Why mortgages? Why now?

While the rest of the world moved to instant, AI-driven experiences, the mortgage industry remained tethered to manual data entry, PDF forms, and random-sample compliance.

  • Closing the automation gap

    We saw that mortgage brokers were spending more time on admin than on advice.

  • The AI inflection point

    With the arrival of advanced large language models, we realised we could finally automate the human parts of the process, like the fact-find interview, without losing the personal touch.

  • Building the gold standard

    Olmo is the culmination of a decade's worth of experience in building secure, scalable, and highly compliant financial ecosystems.

Our mission: reclaiming the broker's time

Our mission is simple: to automate the 10 hours of weekly admin that currently bogs down every mortgage professional. We believe that by leveraging AI for data collection and compliance, we allow brokers to focus on what they do best: providing expert advice.
