About the company
Founders Graham C. Gerlach, Joshua Wyss, and Mark Shaw launched the company in 2020. Inclined operates as a SaaS software company. It focuses on driving better long-term outcomes for whole-life policyholders. The company operates in the USD 150 billion insurance market. It aims to aid consumers in significantly enhancing the value of their life insurance policies. Currently, the market has two inherent problems – firstly, the front end” problem of obtaining and structuring the raw data from whole life carriers. Secondly, the “back end” problem of efficiently managing the collateral in a way that can deliver assets at scale to our financial institution partners.
Inclined Technologies seeks to address these two problems. The Inclined Line of Credit (“iLOC”) is flexible. The borrower can draw or pay back iteratively at his convenience. The borrower never pays any fees on the platform. Besides, the process of applying for a loan takes less than 15 minutes.
