Optimal Blue Timeline

2002 — 2010

  • Optimal Blue began as an information services business focused on automating the manual processes around paper rate sheets and loan-level adjustments.
  • We developed screen scraping technology to digitize the mortgage pricing process.
  • In 2008, Optimal Blue acquired Secondary Interactive, a company focused on mortgage pipeline hedging, to supplement offerings in the secondary market.

2011 — 2015

  • The company received a growth equity investment from Serent Capital to help fund continued business expansion.
  • In 2013, we acquired Loansifter, the next largest competitor in the PPE space. With the acquisition, the company moved more aggressively into the broker space with a dedicated product.
  • Following the acquisition of Loansifter, Optimal Blue greatly expanded our investor client base, adding significant value to the network.

2016 — Today
