Dono, a property records platform that digitizes paper-based county records, announced it raised a $6.5 million seed round, resulting in $10.2 million of total funding.
The new funding round was led by Link Ventures with participation from lool VC and Alumni Ventures. The raised funds will be used to accelerate geographic expansion by building county-level infrastructure market by market, with a goal of covering nearly 50% of US states by population by the end of the year.
Dono started in title insurance, working with title underwriters and national title agencies, and it has received demand expand into adjacent markets including lenders, mortgage servicers, and real estate investment firms. In a statement, Dono said that it covers more than 700 counties and is “building modular infrastructure to make property records clear, accessible, and instant at a fraction of current costs, delivered via both UI and API to fit into existing workflows.”
“The gap isn’t just technology. Plenty of tools exist. But they aren’t built on modern infrastructure,” said Tali Gross, CEO of Dono, which is headquartered in Tel Aviv with operations in Palm Beach, Florida. “Our mission is to fundamentally improve the home closing experience by giving everyone involved—title professionals, lenders, buyers, servicers—the certainty they need without the friction that’s been accepted as ‘just how it works’ for decades.”
