Mark Dusseau: How to Use AI to Make Smarter Lending Decisions
Mark Dusseau is the technical co-founder of StarterStack.ai, a profitable, bootstrapped enterprise AI company based in Atlanta. StarterStack builds the operating system for private capital, deploying on-premise AI agents that automate underwriting and monitor portfolio risk in real time for non-bank lenders scaling from $50M to $500M.
Before StarterStack, Mark was a data scientist and product leader. He started his career at Ernst & Young and later worked alongside engineers at Two Sigma.
Across startups and mid-market companies, the products he has built have driven over $500M in revenue and impacted more than four million users.
Mark is a builder who focuses on operational throughput rather than theoretical AI. He actively invests his own capital into early-stage tech startups, backing founders who share his pragmatic, execution-first approach.
