Listen "36: Broker, Lender AND Technologist - How This Rising Star Does it All with Lendwire's Shawn-Marc Melo"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we're joined by Shawn-Marc Melo. Shawn-Marc is the Founder & Principal Broker at Lendwire Inc. from Ontario, a leader in Canada's new FinTech initiative in the mortgage space. Lendwire combines multiple branches of a brokerage, a lender, and they are also moving into the tech space. This model allows them to use capital from the brokerage and lending branches to fund their tech, as it's becoming increasingly difficult to get funding.

→ Predictions for the next decade and taking advantage of tech trends, differentiating from the competition, and what's gone into the Lendwire App.
