Summary

We're looking for a founding UI/UX designer to lead our product design. Landjourney is a rapidly growing loan origination and servicing for agriculture banks. We are backed by leading investors from both FinTech and AgTech.

About Landjourney.ai

Ag financial services is a giant market – $18 billion in the US, and boasts higher margins than other lending sectors due to its specialized nature. Agriculture needs robust financial services more than ever, amid rising interest rates, farm debt at all-time highs, and dwindling rural community banks, especially as 40% of US farmland is expected to change hands in the next two decades.

Despite its size, ag finance is largely ignored by fintech, with existing tech products struggling to penetrate the farming sector. This leaves a gap filled by a fragmented group of century-old financial institutions that cannot develop modern ag lending technology on their own, resulting in slow and complex processes for farmers.

Our vision is to bring the same level of fintech innovation to agriculture as seen in consumer and business lending. Instead of competing with long-established ag financial services providers, we plan to partner with entities deeply embedded in the farming community, like ag lenders themselves, insurers, equipment dealers, ag supplies/crop retailers, co-ops, agtech platforms, and more.
