Bridge Partners with Lama AI to Revolutionize Commercial Lending Distribution
At Bridge, we're excited to announce our strategic partnership with Lama AI, an award-winning AI-powered origination technology provider for the financial industry. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in our mission to democratize access to commercial lending for businesses, especially those in underrepresented communities.
Enhancing Access to Capital
Through this partnership, Lama AI customers gain access to Bridge’s diverse marketplace of lenders, ranging from banks to private lenders. This integration allows banks and financial institutions to diversify their loan portfolios by sourcing deals from a variety of channels, significantly enhancing their lending capabilities. By leveraging Lama AI's advanced AI technology, including its AI assistant, smart document management, and automated credit decisioning workflows, we aim to improve the efficiency of the loan origination process and reduce time to funding.
A Seamless, Efficient Solution for Lenders and Borrowers
Combining Bridge's expertise in connecting middle-market borrowers with debt capital providers with Lama AI's revolutionary technology, the partnership enables a more seamless and efficient process for both lenders and borrowers. Lama AI’s embedded distribution product, Flow, transforms how financial institutions access lending opportunities by allowing them to connect with multiple distribution channels with ease. This advanced solution helps financial institutions expand their reach and become more agile players in the digital and embedded lending ecosystem.
Expanding Opportunities and Driving Growth
Harte Thompson, Co-Founder and COO of Bridge, highlighted the shared mission of both companies to make commercial lending more accessible. “This collaboration enhances our ability to connect business owners with the best lending opportunities, providing a seamless and efficient solution that benefits both lenders and borrowers,” Thompson said. By partnering with Lama AI, Bridge can expand its reach and better serve the diverse needs of our clients, providing tailored solutions that align with their growth goals.
Omri Yacubovich, CEO & Co-Founder of Lama AI, emphasized the importance of this partnership for democratizing market collaboration. “Banks shouldn’t limit their future growth to a single source of loan opportunities. Instead, they should focus on ensuring their technological readiness to expand their reach,” Yacubovich explained. Together, Bridge and Lama AI are committed to unlocking new opportunities and reshaping the business lending landscape.
