Data and technology are bringing changes to commercial real estate financing, an industry that has traditionally been slow to adopt innovation. The availability of data from both lenders and borrowers has allowed real-time data to be a determinant of credit decisions. Tech-enabled platforms allow borrowers to seamlessly connect to non-bank lenders, marketplace lenders, and traditional lenders. Lev is a commercial real estate full-stack financing platform that digitizes all facets of the commercial real estate financing process that handles transactions from beginning to end – origination, diligence, and closing. The company leverages machine learning to optimize the workflow of a financing, resulting in fewer errors and faster turnaround times, giving more flexibility to borrowers and lenders. In 2020, Lev closed $100M worth of financing on its platform and this year is on pace to close $1B+. AlleyWatch caught up with CEO and Cofounder Yaakov Zar to learn more about the commercial real estate market, the company’s strategic plans, and latest round of funding from investors that include Greenspring Associates, First American Title, NFX, JLL, Canaan Partners, ANIMO Ventures, and Ludlow Ventures.
