FISHERS, Ind. - eTradeWire -- Commercial loan brokers across the country now have access to a new kind of lending technology. Intrepid Finance, an AI-powered fintech company transforming commercial lending, and the Commercial Loan Brokers Institute (CLBI), the nation's leading broker education organization, have teamed up to put modern lending tools in the hands of brokers who have never had them before.

CLBI will endorse the Intrepid Platform as its preferred fintech solution for non-CRE lending. Intrepid will recommend CLBI as its top training resource for its broker network. The partnership is built on a shared belief: commercial brokers deserve better tools.

Brokers have spent too much time on paperwork instead of on clients. Financial reviews that once took 10 to 20 hours can now be completed in under two minutes, while deal packaging can be reduced from days to less than an hour. The platform has supported more than $1 billion in transactions and serves over 150 brokers and lenders.

"Commercial brokerage has always been about relationships. The brokers who win the next decade will be the ones who pair those relationships with real technology. Brokers who invest in their craft deserve technology that keeps pace with their ambition. That is exactly what this partnership delivers," said Steve Iskander, Founder and CEO of Intrepid Finance.

CLBI was co-founded by Shane Walton, a globally recognized broker coach, and Darrick Brown, a former Senior Vice President at Wells Fargo who started his own brokerage after watching the majority of commercial applicants get denied credit. CLBI teaches brokers the same systems its founders use in their own deals. Its community is exactly the market Intrepid was built to serve.

"Our brokers are trained to close deals, not to fight technology. Partnering with Intrepid means our graduates step into a workflow that actually works the way the modern lending market demands," said Shane Walton, Co-Founder and Managing Principal of CLBI.

The partnership includes co-branded onboarding, joint webinars, shared content, and exclusive access to the Intrepid Platform for CLBI brokers. A full rollout is planned through mid-year.
