We sit down with Eric Dill, Co-Founder of Quickli, a software company revolutionising the mortgage broking industry. Eric’s journey is anything but typical—he started in naval architecture, moved to Sydney in 2010, and built a mortgage broking business from scratch in 2014. Without a network, he faced major challenges, which ultimately led to the creation of Quickly in 2020.
We unpack Quickli’s rapid growth to nearly 12,000 users, their latest venture Promptly, and how they’re expanding into lender-focused services. Eric shares insights into industry challenges, aggregator tech integration, and the power of product-led growth. Plus, we go beyond business—talking work-life balance, golf, and what’s next for Quickly.
