Bill Dallas is a visionary in the fintech industries, responsible for founding and managing more than a dozen mortgage startups and financial tech companies over the past 40 years. His first venture, First Franklin, grew to be one of the nation’s largest lenders and eventually sold for $330 million. Other hugely successful ventures include risk management solution Interthinx and lending process automation software company Mindbox, which Bill sold for $27 million and $20 million, respectively. Most recently, Bill sold a minority stake of Own It to Merrill Lynch for $500 million.
Although technology has disrupted and improved many industries, the antiquated mortgage lending process remains manual, slow and costly. Along with his co-founders, Bill created the intelligent Mortgage Platform (iMP), the enabling technology behind cloudvirga’s mortgage point-of-sale platforms which leverages data and an intelligent workflow to drastically cut the time and cost associated with closing a loan. The proven system, which has already processed more than $7 billion in loans, is successfully transforming home lending by digitizing, automating and simplifying the process for consumers, lenders and Realtors®.
Currently CEO of Skyline Home Loans, a top-50 mortgage lender, Bill serves as chairman of cloudvirga’s board of directors. He holds a law degree from Santa Clara University School of Law as well as an undergraduate degree from Bowling Green State University, where he graduated magna cum laude.
