Our Why: Making Data Fair
Stephanie, our CEO and cofounder, shares the reason Gestalt exists. Building a data warehouse is hard, finding the people to do it is harder, and running a financial institution while trying to build one is nearly impossible. So why should every bank, credit union, and specialty finance shop have to spend a fortune reinventing the wheel? We don’t build our own credit bureaus or accounting systems, and we believe data should be no different. Our why is simple: every financial institution, big or small, deserves access to their own data, and we’re here to make it fair.
Stephanie’s Our Why Highlights:
Building and staffing a data warehouse is complex, costly, and distracting
Institutions should not have to reinvent the wheel to manage their data
Data access should be as standard as credit bureaus or accounting systems
Gestalt’s mission is to make data access fair for every financial institution
