Shima's passion for improving mortgage lending started during a Wall Street internship on Deutsche Bank's residential mortgage backed security desk after the housing crisis, where she learned about the widespread impact of poor lending practices on household wealth and how better, consumer-focused financial products and technology could
help millions of homeowners. Prior to founding Safe Rate, Shima founded Persee Ventures with Dylan, where she led investment and product development. She started her career as a robotics engineer building path planning and obstacle avoidance algorithms for autonomous vehicles. Shima received her bachelor's in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and her MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
