After a busy few days, I’m happy to finally share my thoughts on our exciting news that Moody’s has acquired Numerated! Together, we have created the end-to-end lending platform with more capabilties and customers than any other. Very, very exciting! It’s the start of an amazing new chapter in the Numerated story. It’s also an amazing end to the previous chapters, which have been exhilarating, a lot of hard work, and ultimately very successful. I’ve always said that if I were to write a book about Numerated, it would be called “The Stupidest 🤬*$^%ing🤬 Thing I’ve Ever Heard”, because so many of the things we wanted to do were so novel or ambitious that they seemed genuinely crazy at the time. And also because someone (who I respect) once said that about our work. So on this Thanksgiving week, I’d like to say a huge thank you to all the people — teammates, investors, customers, and partners — who heard about The Stupidest *$^%ing Thing, believed in it, and helped make it a success. There are a lot of people to thank, and LinkedIn doesn’t like long posts, so I’m going to divide up my post into the chapters of the Numerated story, each titled with real quotes from along the journey. Chapter 1️⃣ : “This is a bank, not a science experiment.” Who creates a technology lab in a regional bank? We did, back in 2014 when it hadn’t been done before, setting a foundation for innovation that was hugely impactful, has been oft copied, and featured in an HBS case study. Thank you to: 👉 Eastern Bank, Bob Rivers, and Rich Holbrook for your vision 👉 Jim Fitzgerald and Don Westermann for your thoughtfulness 👉 My Labs cofounders Laurence Stock, John Magee, and Sean Boice for their grit 👉 Trish North for taking a risk 👉 My Labs colleagues Charles Cunningham, Benjamin Petrin, and Justin Sousa who are still making an impact at Numerated today
Our customers are at the center of everything we do – and we’re committed to providing the right solutions and insights to make well-informed, quick decisions. That’s why we’re excited to announce the acquisition of Numerated, which will expand our lending capabilities across the credit lifecycle. The combination of Numerated’s front office, decisioning, and loan operation technologies with Moody’s credit assessment, underwriting, and monitoring capabilities provides the market with a richer and more robust loan origination system that meets the evolving needs of our banking customers.

Congrats Dan and the Numerated team. I was both inspired and blown away by my two early visits to your Labs in Boston. Could see then you were on to a great thing, and I’m delighted that both your’s and Eastern Bank’s vision has had such a successful journey and outcome. 🚀👏🏻
