Loan Processing/Underwriting Automation Platform Utilizing AI/ML and APIs/OCR to collect/review data/documents for all parties involved in approving and funding a home loan transaction.

• $4.7mm ARR, 45% YoY Growth (2022-23), and less than 3% Churn.
• Google Accelerator AI/ML Cohort Top of Class (only Fintech company chosen to participate)
• Late stage (pending vendor diligence unlocked by capital from current round) with numerous top tier banks, lenders, and brokers ($3-6mm+ contract value).

There are 650k active Mortgage Loan Originators (MLOs) in the US (+25% supporting staff) and ~10mm transactions processed yearly over the past decade. RealKey will evolve to support other participants in the ecosystem, such as real estate agents, insurance, and title/escrow. RealKey is solving for the most complex loan consumers can obtain. RealKey will expand to support student/auto/personal loans, as well as wealth management/financial planning, and eventually plans to go consumer direct.

Today, lenders receive unsupported and incomplete applications through Points of Sale or by phone from borrowers. The MLO runs that data through Automated Underwriting Systems to get worthless feedback and request basic documentation (often the same documents twice), resulting in tons of back and forth with underwriting. Their internal systems provide no facilitation on what to gather and when. These gaps lead to drastic reductions in NPS scores.

RealKey is an Automated Loan Processing (ALP) platform automating document collection & review to reduce conditions, touches, and time-to-close with underwriting. RealKey's Intelligent Conditions Engine utilizes 100% of 3.4 MISMO fields to auto-generate the industry's most comprehensive needs list for all parties with standardized and shareable content, including lender and loan program specific requirements. OCR and AI/ML are leveraged to automate classify, parse, and map data from uploaded documents for automated review and conditioning, leading to a more efficient closing.

RealKey fills the gaps of current industry systems: LOS (Ellie Mae, Calyx), POS (Blend, Rocket Mortgage), AUSs, and current manual processes. RealKey is the only platform taking a documents first approach to automate processing and underwriting to get all the right documents upfront through integrations, OCR, and automated rules/algorithms to facilitate documentation collection and review. Making all potential suitors.

RealKey has a durable advantage. Our CEO's background as the top Mortgage Originator in the US has been built into the logic of the system to help qualify more people through a unique decision tree and streamline interaction with all parties. UI designed by the former TurboTax Design Lead are patented and proven to decrease churn and improve adoption. RealKey is the only company unifying all parties into a centralized and neutral platform. Key endorsements further our advantage.
