The AI-powered property records platform announced this week that it raised a $6.5 million seed round, bringing total funding<\/a> to $10.2 million. The round was led by Link Ventures, with participation from lool VC and Alumni Ventures.<\/p>\n U.S. real estate \u2013 the largest asset class in the world, valued at more than $50 trillion \u2013 still runs on a patchwork of county records that date back centuries. Property ownership is recorded across more than 3,700 counties. The result: verifying who owns what is often slow, costly, and unclear.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe gap isn\u2019t just technology. Plenty of tools exist. But they aren\u2019t built on modern infrastructure,\u201d said Tali Gross, CEO of Dono, in the company\u2019s announcement. \u201cOur mission is to fundamentally improve the home closing experience by giving everyone involved\u00a0\u2013\u00a0title professionals, lenders, buyers, servicers \u2013\u00a0the certainty they need without the friction that\u2019s been accepted as \u2018just how it works\u2019 for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n Dono started by working with title underwriters and national title agencies, where the pain is most acute. Title insurance still relies heavily on manual work, offshore vendors, and legacy \u201ctitle plants.\u201d Turnaround times can stretch into days. Fees vary. Quality can be inconsistent. And as firms expand into new markets, they often need to hire more people just to keep up.<\/p>\n Dono\u2019s approach is to sit underneath the process, building what it calls an infrastructure layer for ownership verification. The platform collects data from counties, title plants, and customer sources; uses AI to extract and index key information from dense legal documents; encodes underwriting standards into adaptable AI; and delivers structured data through both a user interface and API.<\/p>\n It\u2019s still backed by human verification. As the company noted, \u201caccuracy isn\u2019t negotiable in this industry.\u201d That said, Dono claims that its product can deliver 80% faster turnaround times and allow customers to triple capacity with the same team.<\/p>\n \u201cOrganizations face an impossible tradeoff: accuracy, speed, or cost\u2026 pick one, maybe two,\u201d said Tali Gross, CEO and Co-Founder of Dono. \u201cWe eliminate that choice.\u201d<\/p>\n Today, Dono covers more than 700 counties across the U.S. The new funding will help the company expand county by county, with a goal of covering nearly half of U.S. states by population by the end of the year. It also plans to deepen automation while maintaining accuracy \u2013 and to move beyond title insurance into lending, mortgage servicing, and real estate investment.<\/p>\n It\u2019s no secret that Miami is a major global hub<\/a> for real estate investing. Increasingly though, startups solving problems in the real estate space are also finding a home in Miami. For instance, late last month, Miami startup Propy raised a $100 million credit facility<\/a> to modernize title and escrow processes. Also in January, Titl raised $2.5 million<\/a> to speed up property title verification. And in December, Beycome secured $2.5 million<\/a> to expand AI-powered real estate platform.<\/p>\n Pictured above: Dono co-founders Eyal Stern (COO), Tali Gross (CEO), and Ron Likvornik (CTO).<\/p>\n READ MORE IN REFRESH MIAMI:<\/p>\n I am a Miami-based technology researcher and writer with a passion for sharing stories about the South Florida tech ecosystem.
