The Entrepreneur: Justin Herlick, CEO and cofounder, Pine
As the Prime Minister narrowly passes a record-setting budget and embarks on trade missions abroad, Mike and Dan wonder if the federal government is doing enough to stimulate business growth domestically, starting with interprovincial trade. Then, a zoom-out on the global economy, the risk of an AI bubble-burst, and why a burst won't necessarily shake the tech sector to its core. Speaking of tech, our profile this time is a Canadian startup founder disrupting the traditional mortgage lending model.
Justin Herlick's Pine is quickly gaining traction after recently surpassing the $1 billion mark in mortgages managed, and there's some speculation that the platform is moving the numbers at a macro level as well, where traditional lenders are losing some market share to new competition. Justin speaks about novel concepts in mortgage lending: speed, efficiency and a customer experience. The real estate and finance platform was named the #1 Canadian startup in 2025 by LinkedIn (congratulations to Pine as well as IE alum Manmade which placed third).
