Frequently Asked Questions
We follow a mindful, practical approach to AI development. We start with one high-leverage use case, design the smallest possible system that delivers value, plug into your existing stack, and treat each iteration as a working version of the future. We focus on solving real problems without unnecessary complexity.
Our core principles are:
- Mindful Action - We ask why repeatedly until we're sure we're solving the right problem
- Simplicity is a Superpower - We believe in elegant solutions that solve real problems without unnecessary complexity
- We Take Ownership - We own everything from design to delivery
- Intensity with Care - We work with intensity and care, moving fast but with love and gratitude
We didn't start with a grand vision for private lending. We started with a customer. This is our second startup, and we approached it effectually. When one of our early customers happened to be in the private lending space, we went deep into the space and stayed. We found a tech-underserved industry full of smart people doing complex work manually, and that's where Value AI Labs began to take shape.
We focus on practical AI that fits into existing workflows without disruption. We understand lending processes deeply, integrate with existing systems, and help lenders learn and scale faster than going it alone. We don't just build what's asked - we surface tradeoffs, share options, and help you make sharper decisions.
Our team combines AI and technology expertise with private lending knowledge. Our co-founders include Vibhor Goel (CTO) with 25+ years at Cisco and IBM, Aravindan RS (COO) with three decades of core software engineering, and Gagan Josan (CEO) with product leadership experience at Amazon and Nokia. We also have Rob Spellman as Principal Consultant with extensive mortgage tech experience.
