Our take
The world of mortgage lending is a fractured place, and Stavvy is a company that is setting out to repair some of the cracks. Its fintech platform aims to increase the speed, efficiency, and transparency of real-estate transactions whilst managing security risk and eliminating fragmentation.
The platform gives loan servicers a secure virtual space to do things like negotiate solutions and obtain notarized signatures without the need for paper and postage. It does this through e-signatures and video conferencing.
In recent years, the company has seen a surge in business as business operations - including banking and lending businesses - pursued paperless and digital solutions. In light of this, the company has wisely doubled down on the quality of talent needed to scale properly. With this momentum, and considerable funding, Stavvy looks well set to continue its aggressive growth.
