SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., Dec. 1, 2017 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Matic<\/a>, a digital insurance agency whose technology enables borrowers to purchase homeowner\u2019s insurance during the mortgage transaction, announced today that company co-founder and COO Ben Madick is a 2017 HousingWire Vanguard Award winner. Madick was recognized for guiding the company\u2019s phenomenal growth over the last 12 months as well as for his career-long contributions to the mortgage industry as co-founder of both Matic and risk management services provider Mortgage Quality Management and Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Matic
\nDuring Madick\u2019s tenure, Matic has become the market leader in lender and servicer distribution of homeowner’s insurance. In the 12 months, Matic has earned the business of such industry powerhouses as Freedom Mortgage and Mr. Cooper and forged partnerships with more than a dozen of the nation’s top-rated insurance carriers, including household names Nationwide, Progressive, National General Insurance and Safeco. The company also announced integrations with mortgage technology providers LendingQB, PCLender, BeSmartee, Maxwell and Roostify during the last year.<\/p>\n

Madick\u2019s award is the capstone achievement to a year full of milestones for Matic. In September, Matic competed in TechCrunch\u2019s Startup Battlefield, the world\u2019s pre-eminent startup competition. Matic was one of just six startups to advance to the final round of the competition. Earlier this month, Matic announced the close of a $7 million Series A funding round led by Mr. Cooper (formerly NationStar), one of the nation\u2019s largest mortgage originators and servicers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Vanguard winners represent an incredible cross-section of the industry \u2014 the cream of the crop in lending, servicing, investing and real estate,\u201d Magazine Editor Sarah Wheeler said. \u201cThis group of leaders exemplifies the remarkable depth of talent and expertise in the world of mortgage finance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to be named to such a selective list of mortgage industry influencers,\u201d said Madick. \u201cWe founded Matic because we believe you can\u2019t have a truly digital mortgage without modernizing the homeowner\u2019s insurance process for both borrowers and lenders. This recognition is an encouraging indicator that the industry also views homeowner\u2019s insurance as a mortgage process long overdue for innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the third year HousingWire has recognized executives in the housing finance industry for their outstanding leadership in the space. Winners were selected by HousingWire\u2019s editorial board and evaluated based on their company and industry contributions.<\/p>\n
