Lev Raises Another $70M for its Commercial Real Estate Financing Marketplace and Platform
The five largest commercial real estate loans in NYC in 2021 exceeded $7.2B. Despite such financial stakes, the typical commercial real estate lending process had been incompatible with today’s modern reality. Traditionally, a borrower identifies a capital need, gathers documents, completes a loan application, diligence, and then approval or refusal at which point the borrower has to start the process all over again. The process takes months. Lev is a digital-first platform for commercial real estate financing that automates and modernizes this process, trimming it down to weeks instead of months. By leveraging technology, agility is introduced to the process by having borrowers and lenders input their financial details and preferences once while Lev matches compatible lenders to specific borrowers, eliminating the need to shop deals around manually and repeatedly. The company’s marketplace has closed $1B+ in loans in the last twelve months and features over 5,000 lenders nationwide. Lev recently own its own lending operations focused on non-recourse loans on single-tenant net lease properties. AlleyWatch caught up with Lev CEO and Founder Yaakov Zar to learn more about the business, the company’s strategic plans, latest round of funding, which brings the total equity funding raised to $114.8M, and much, much more…

Mantra Health Raises $22M for its Telehealth Platform That Makes Mental Health Care Accessible for College Students
73% of students experience a mental health crisis during college; 40% experience depression. Schools are not well equipped to handle the growing demand for students that are seeking counseling and treatment. The ratio of counselors to students is 1:1000-2000 for small to moderate-sized schools; 1:2000-3500 for larger universities. This lack of access is compounding the acute mental health crisis among students. Mantra Health is a digital mental healthcare clinic that works with universities and colleges to provide accessible services to their students. The telehealth platform provides 24/7 access to licensed psychiatrists and therapy providers in the Mantra network and a back-end platform that allows the university to refer and monitor their students’ cases, supported by a robust EHR system. Students can now access vetted providers in minutes rather than weeks without worrying about cost; payment is a blend of insurance and university-sponsored. Mantra is now live at 52 universities, making mental healthcare accessible to ~500K students.
