ST. LOUIS, MO - August 18, 2025

OptiFunder, the mortgage industry’s leading Warehouse Management System (WMS), has once again earned a place on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America. This marks the third consecutive year of recognition, underscoring the company’s rapid growth and its role in transforming warehouse lending through automation.

OptiFunder’s WMS is purpose-built for independent mortgage banks, optimizing every step of the funding process from warehouse selection through paydown. By intelligently automating decisioning, funding requests, wire data checks, purchase advice reconciliation, and paydown activity, OptiFunder enables originators to lower cost of capital, reduce manual workload, and fund loans faster with greater accuracy.

Since its launch, OptiFunder has supported billions in warehouse volume for IMBs nationwide. The company’s growth continues to be fueled by its expanding product suite, which now includes solutions designed for both originators and warehouse lenders—delivering true end-to-end automation across the warehouse ecosystem.

“Making the Inc. 5000 list for the third year in a row is a testament to the dedication, innovation, and resilience of the OptiFunder team,” said Michael McFadden, CEO of OptiFunder. “To achieve this level of growth in one of the most challenging mortgage markets we’ve seen speaks volumes about the value we’re delivering to clients and the strength of our solutions. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve built—and where we’re headed.”

The recognition by Inc. highlights not just OptiFunder’s revenue growth, but the impact of its technology in helping IMBs and warehouse lenders adapt to market volatility, improve efficiency, and prepare for the next cycle of mortgage demand.
