The company plans to use the funds to speed up market growth, enhance its platform, and expand adoption in the mortgage industry.
Maestro AI is a specialized AI platform for mortgage origination. It provides an AI operating system that manages mortgage workflows across teams and systems, helping lenders automate key processes without replacing their current loan origination technology. The platform addresses an industry that remains manual and fragmented, where disconnected systems and labor intensive workflows increase costs and slow loan processing.
The company is now integrating with ICE Mortgage Technology’s Encompass, the leading U.S. loan origination system and has started early integrations and pilot programs with lenders. The new funding will speed up these deployments as the company targets a market worth over $100 billion.
“Mortgage origination is one of the last major financial processes still done manually,” said Nick Moran, Founder and General Partner at New Stack Ventures. “We believe agentic AI will transform how these processes work and Maestro is building the infrastructure to lead that change. Founders with this expertise and track record are rare, which is why we were excited to lead the round.”
“I built and sold my first mortgage fintech company because I saw this broken process every day,” said David Rogove, Founder and CEO of Maestro AI. “Agentic AI now makes full end-to-end automation possible, and Maestro is designed to provide the infrastructure lenders have been missing.”
Maestro AI recently finished the Gold Coast Tech Accelerator, a program backed by Related Ross, eMerge Americas and FC100 that connects fast-growing startups with funding and mentorship. “Maestro shows what can happen when promising fintech teams get the right guidance and capital, which is exactly what our accelerator aims to provide,” said Melissa Medina, Co-Founder and CEO of eMerge Americas.
