On episode 43 I talk with Bernardo Silva of Yave. Yave is a mortgage origination fintech from Mexico. They help Mexican families with financing so they can own a home.
Yave is really on the cutting edge as Bernardo explains in the episode. They are one of the only companies taking on the mortgage space in Mexico. The mortgage market in Mexico is dominated by a handful of lenders and the Mexican government.
Yave is looking to change that dynamic by offering a better experience and a willingness to serve a wider customer base than the small segment currently being served by the big banks.
Bernardo and I discuss the overall mortgage opportunity in Mexico, the Fintech Law in Mexico, their growing number of partners, raising capital, formula one racing, and much more.
