Our Story

Originator Incubator was founded by Mike Merriam, a 25 year veteran mortgage originator, executive, and coach, and is supported by numerous top producing loan officers, managers, and executives.
We have distilled down the principles of success in the mortgage business and have mapped out that knowledge in the most functional way for loan officers at any and all production levels to digest and implement.
Mike currently serves as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for a Top 8 National Mortgage Company, coaches hundreds of loan officers and branch managers, and has built the largest Mortgage & Real Estate Partnership Program in the United States.
Our Approach
We operate from a scientific mindset. Breaking success down to first principles, and building novel solutions from the ground up, testing them in the real world over years of working with thousands of loan officers.
Everything we teach is practical and real market tested. Nothing is theoretical.
We believe strongly in the Compound Effect. That is that by making small changes to habits and behaviors, massive gains can be made in the mid-term. Accordingly, all our teachings are designed to create small behavioral shifts, and delivered in easily implemented stages so that our clients experience immediate data shifts and generate the momentum to keep moving forward.
