think about it often (80 percent and 82
percent, respectively).
The projected median housing price

18-year-olds will have to begin saving
$304 per month to afford a typical
10% down payment plus closing costs
by the time they turn 30.
Generation Z can expect to spend
$226,000 on inflation-adjusted rent
in their lifetime -- about $24,000
more than millennials and $77,000
more than baby boomers.

fractionalizing ownership in homes, its customers begin
to earn equity before they outright own
●Hurry Home Hurry Home uses capital from investors to
offer a financial product that enables buyers to earn
equity in their home while paying close to or less than
what rent would be for the same property

Lenders who build
models using Zest.ai
software have seen, on
average, a 20% increase
in approval rates with no
added risk, and up to 50%
reductions in charge-offs
by using more of their
data and the advanced
math of machine
learning.
Company
Zest.ai helps banks and
credit unions go beyond
the statistical and data
limitations of traditional
credit scores to identify
good borrowers who are
often overlooked by
legacy techniques.
Complementary tools
help teams evaluate and
validate the models for
safety, stability, business
impact, and compliance.
Traction
Zest provides over 30
customers with resources
to prep, build, iterate, and
document
machine-learning
decisioning models for
cards, auto loans, personal
loans, mortgages, and
student loans. Zest.ai is a
Series C company with
$254m in total funding.
Zest.ai
Scale
Based on the mortgage
lenders who tested ZAML
Fair, Zest says the tool
would eliminate 70% of the
nation’s gap in approval
rates between Hispanic and
white mortgage applicants
and cut the even larger gap
between Black and white
borrowers by more than
40%, putting 172,000
families into new homes.
MajorTakeaways
● Increasing home ownership rates in
communities of color will reduce the racial
wealth gap.
● Systemic factors that create barriers to Black
and Latino homeownership are ripe for
disruption from financial solutions that
vertically focus the needs of diverse users.
● Traditional methods do not accurately assess
the creditworthiness of people of color.
● By practicing ethical AI businesses can
prevent algorithmic bias from perpetuating
real world bias in mortgage lending.
