From Funding to Fintech

In 2017, I founded OnyxIQ with a simple goal—to give the lending industry the system it always needed but never had.

I didn’t come from the tech world. I came from lending. For over 20 years, I’ve built, scaled, and operated funding companies like Wall Funding, which has originated financing totaling over a billion dollars to date.

So when I say I know the industry’s pain points firsthand, I mean it. I built OnyxIQ because I was tired of watching good funders and lenders get held back by bad software.

Two Decades in the Trenches

I’ve lived through every stage of the lending process: origination, underwriting, servicing, and collections. And for years, I saw the same inefficiencies repeat themselves—manual processes, disconnected systems, and expensive tools that never talked to each other.

Most software options looked good on paper but fell apart in practice. There was no ecosystem that handled the full lifecycle of a deal—from lead management to repayment tracking—while automating the tasks that slow teams down.

That’s why we built Onyx from the inside out: a platform created by funders & lenders, for funders & lenders.

The Status Quo Wasn’t Good Enough

The truth is, most lenders and brokers were stuck stitching together workflows across spreadsheets, outdated CRMs, and disconnected accounting tools.

The result? Bloated teams. Slower funding cycles. Inconsistent underwriting.

One example still stands out.

A company double the size of Wall Funding—same volume, same market—needed 150 people to operate what we manage with 20.

That’s the power of purposeful automation.

The Future of Lending Tech

Today, automation isn’t an edge—it’s a requirement.
Lenders who don’t embrace technology will sit on the bench while others grow faster, leaner, and smarter.

At OnyxIQ, we’re building for that future. Our scorecard modeling engine lets lenders underwrite in seconds instead of hours. Our syndication automation allows investors to co-fund deals with a click. And our ecosystem approach ensures every step—from origination to collections—flows seamlessly.

We believe in automation that’s powerful, practical, and built on real lending experience.

The New Way to Fund and Scale

Over the past few years, we’ve worked closely with funders and lenders across the U.S. to refine OnyxIQ into the platform that drives their daily operations.

The results speak for themselves:

  • 5× more growth capacity without adding headcount
  • 95% less time spent on manual processes
  • End-to-end visibility across every deal and dollar

This isn’t theory—it’s happening now and we’ve just launched our most powerful set of features with Scorecards.

Jump on the lending automation revolution or become irrelevant

The lending industry is getting more competitive by the day, and the cost of falling behind on scaling automation is irreversible. I’ve seen it personally with my own operation—and we’re building OnyxIQ to be the answer funders and lenders need to operate faster, scale smarter, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.If you’re curious about how OnyxIQ can help your organization, please reach out to info@onyxiq.com or book a demo.
