    1. Dirk Beefcoat AKA Chris Meyer

    Like most business owners, Chris Meyer (Dirk Beefcoat) found the lending process tedious and drawn out. One day, he reflected upon how many people had access to his most private information and he knew there had to be a faster, more secure way to shop loans.

    2. Slade Steel AKA Dean Sioukas

    Meyer reached out to his good friend, Dean Sioukas (Slade Steel), and together, the friends saw a way to transform the lending process and co-founded Magilla Loans. They created the first search engine for loans, which enables borrowers to search and compare loans, without revealing any private information.

    3. "Sir, stop! You don't have to go into a bank anymore!"
