About
Chestnut Mortgage (legal entity: Detta, Inc.) is an AI-powered mortgage company backed by Y Combinator, licensed to originate mortgage loans in Texas and Colorado. Founded by Spencer Brown, a software engineer who previously built loan origination technology for major lenders, Chestnut uses AI to automate document review, loan option comparison, and application processing — reducing overhead and passing savings directly to borrowers as lower rates, typically around 0.5% below market. Most loans close in 2-3 weeks versus the 30-45 day industry average, and every borrower is paired with a dedicated human loan expert.
