James Paterson

James co-founded Lend1 with a vision to give brokers a purpose-built platform that replaces fragmented tools with a single, intelligent system.

He owns and runs JP Mortgages, a brokerage based in South Australia, so the problems Lend1 solves are ones he still deals with himself. From chasing documents to retyping data, he saw first-hand how much time was being wasted on manual onboarding. He drives the product vision and strategy behind Lend1's AI-powered features and white-label capabilities.
