Steve Herschleb is a seasoned technology executive and founder with 12 years of experience building fintech and proptech platforms from the ground up. Currently CTO at Lower and formerly Co‑Founder & CTO of Neat Capital, he pairs hands‑on engineering roots (embedded systems and full‑stack development) with product and go‑to‑market leadership across mortgage and home transaction workflows. His background spans startups to enterprise R&D—shipping safety‑critical automotive algorithms early in his career and later architecting cloud-native lender platforms that have supported large mortgage volumes. An MBA-trained entrepreneur, he navigates technical strategy, product design, and commercialization with equal fluency, often bridging gaps between engineering, operations, and business development. Notably, he has repeatedly moved between founder roles and operator executive posts, showing a rare ability to both invent new products and scale them into incumbent markets.
