6. Trussle

  • Trussle is a free online mortgage broker that works with much-needed transparency.
  • In February 2015, co-founders Ishaan Malhi and Jonathan Galore spent two hours in a north London cafe venting about how needlessly difficult it is to get a mortgage, and soon after, Trussle was founded.
