Key People

Lending Cycle, Inc. was founded by bankers with a focus on research and development.



 

Our management, investors, and advisors have been chosen based on their cross-discipline knowledge. As an example, the founder of the company (John Jackson) took over a year to become a commercial programmer and learn research techniques. This example demonstrates how we reduce an incredible amount of overhead as we can take the business case and then prototype the code before sending it off to a less specialized developer.
