US Navy Veteran Viola Carmona is building a huge business around homeownership for first-time homebuyers! She went to market originally to provide leads to larger mortgage companies. She saw an opportunity to serve an underserved community and do it using cutting-edge technology. She has taken a marketing company into a tech startup!
