“The coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic significantly increased the shift of apartment owners and helped them manage their investments using digital tools, which led to the growth of our platform both in terms of users and data. The information gathered here helps us understand the level of investor risk, and thus customize financial products tailored to the level of risk relevant for that user. We are able to significantly shorten processes for real estate investors from investment management and financing their portfolio,” Aviram Shahar, co-founder and CEO of Lendlord, said.

 

“Lendlord introduces technology that provides a real solution for a large market of property owners. We were very impressed with the amount of information the company was able to gather in a short time from a large number of property owners,” said Glassbox co-founder Yoav Schreiber.

 

 

 

Lendlord was founded in 2019 by Shahar, Arieh Zucker, and Avi Benizri. The company currently operates in the UK and is expected to expand to other countries in the coming year. The company currently employs 10 people, and operates from its offices in Tel Aviv.
