On this week’s The Big Picture, Diane Yu, co-founder and CEO of TidalWave, joins the show to talk about how AI is transforming the mortgage experience from the inside out. A veteran technologist and former CTO of Better, Diane has built one of the industry’s most innovative platforms with SOLO™, TidalWave’s AI-powered solution that streamlines loan origination while expanding access to homeownership.
We explore how automation can create both efficiency and inclusion, the real-world potential of AI in mortgage operations, and what it takes to build technology that lenders trust and borrowers love. From her early success co-founding FreeWheel (acquired by Comcast for $400 million) to leading a new wave of fintech innovation, Diane brings sharp insight and big-picture perspective on the future of AI, housing, and human connection.
