Our take
Homeownership has been at record lows over the past this decade, decreasing by 5% over the last 15 years. Landis is a social impact-driven real estate technology company setting out to improve this and support renters in their transition into homeowners.
The company are challenging traditional mortgage underwriting which typically either rejects or accepts an individual. Instead, they take into account thousands of additional data points and so their product is able to tell people exactly what they need to do to get themselves in shape for a mortgage. It is their clear and realistic step-by-step pathway to a mortgage which really differentiates themselves in the market.
With funding from investors including Jay Z’s Roc Nation’s Arrive and Will Smith’s Dreamers VC, Landis has been focused on continuing to expand across the United States.
