September 2018 — By John Mathis
As we and many others foreshadowed at the beginning of this year, the drive for innovation continues to propel M&A in MortgageTech. Investments in technology have dominated deal activity. Investors see opportunity in accelerating the burgeoning digital trends in the mortgage space. The success of these bets is tied to the importance of analytics, workflow and disruptive new technologies such as AI and blockchain.
We expect more activity consistent with ongoing themes: 1) Consolidation along the value chain to build scale; 2) Automation, including AI applications to modernize processes; and 3) Potentially disruptive changes to the industry model as mobility and digital innovations such as blockchain begin to take hold.
