Maestro AI Raises $1.2 Million to Build Agentic OS for Mortgage Origination

Maestro AI has raised $1.2 million in pre-seed funding to develop its agentic AI operating system for mortgage origination, announced in a press release. The round was led by New Stack Ventures with participation from Family VC, ZFO, Roark's Drift, and several angel investors.

The company plans to use the funding to accelerate go-to-market efforts, expand its platform capabilities, and scale adoption among lenders. Maestro AI’s platform coordinates AI agents to automate processes such as borrower intake, document collection, underwriting support, and loan processing, while integrating with existing systems like ICE Mortgage Technology’s Encompass.

Founded by mortgage fintech veteran David Rogove, the company’s leadership team includes CTO Sugi Venugeethan and COO Chelsea Balak, both bringing experience in AI frameworks and mortgage technology. Maestro AI has also completed the Gold Coast Tech Accelerator program, supported by Related Ross, eMerge Americas, and FC100.
