Dono, an AI-powered property records platform that turns fragmented county records into usable ownership data, announced it has raised a $6.5 million seed round, bringing total funding to $10.2 million. The round was led by Link Ventures with participation from lool VC and Alumni Ventures.
Dono is positioning its product as modern infrastructure for U.S. property records, arguing that real estate transactions remain constrained by county-level systems and largely unsearchable records. The company said property ownership in the United States is spread across 3,700+ counties and that verifying ownership is slow, expensive, and opaque, contributing to closing delays. Dono said it currently covers more than 700 counties and is building modular infrastructure delivered via UI and API to fit into existing workflows.
The company said it began in title insurance, working with title underwriters and national title agencies, and is now seeing demand expand among lenders, mortgage servicers, and real estate investment firms. Dono also cited workforce pressures in title operations, noting that more than 50% of the current workforce is expected to retire by 2030.
Dono said it is building an infrastructure layer underneath ownership verification with four modular capabilities that can be used independently or together: data collection across counties, title plants and customer sources; AI-powered extraction and indexing of critical information from complex documents; underwriting intelligence intended to encode title expertise into AI adaptable to specific standards; and configurable data delivery tailored to customer formats. The company said its platform is backed by expert human verification.
Dono said its product can deliver 80% faster turnaround and help customers triple capacity with the same team. The company said the seed proceeds will fund geographic expansion market by market, with a goal of covering nearly 50% of U.S. states by population by the end of the year, while deepening automation and expanding beyond title insurance into adjacent markets. Dono said it is headquartered in Tel Aviv with operations in Palm Beach, Florida.
KEY QUOTE:
“The gap isn’t just technology. Plenty of tools exist. But they aren’t built on modern infrastructure. 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. Organizations face an impossible tradeoff: accuracy, speed, or cost…pick one, maybe two. We eliminate that choice.”
