Titl, a proptech company modernizing property title verification using AI and blockchain, has closed a $2.5 million seed funding round. The seed round was led by Cofounders Capital and FIT Ventures.
The investment will accelerate Titl’s national expansion as demand grows for faster, more transparent, and more secure title search, monitoring, and storage (land registry) that reduces turnaround times from days to minutes. Titl will use the new funding to scale operations beyond Florida, with immediate expansion plans in Georgia, Maryland, and Connecticut. The company plans to expand to almost 20 states before the end of the year.
Much of the homebuying experience has become digital and near-instant, yet title verification still often relies on manual work across fragmented county records, introducing delays and risk into transactions.
Titl automates title search and continuously monitors for changes that can impact ownership — bringing speed, auditability, and security to an industry that historically hasn’t had it, and laying the groundwork for a unified, digital source of truth across fragmented land records. Titl uses AI to surface critical property information – ownership history, liens, taxes, code violations, permits, and related documents – and leverages an immutable blockchain ledger designed to make records tamper-resistant and independently verifiable.
“We set out to find an extremely niche, inefficient process where we could create a significant impact and the title process was it,” said Ori Ohayon, co-founder of Titl. “Titl is unifying property ownership verification and transfer through a centralized, digitized U.S. registry. We’re not digitizing yesterday’s workflow; we’re reimagining ownership for the digital age.”
Titl was created by Ohayon, a serial entrepreneur and former Goldman Sachs banker, and Tory Ricalis, a real estate developer with a deep passion in blockchain-enabled innovation.
Ohayon worked on web3 enabled solutions at both at Goldman Sachs and TD Securities, bringing firsthand experience across traditional finance and emerging technologies and a track record for spotting inefficiencies in legacy systems.
Core offerings include TitlReport, which celivers comprehensive title reports in about four minutes, using AI to analyze liens, encumbrances and ownership history with verified source records; TitlProduction, which Automates title production by extracting key data from closing packages to generate title reports and commitments in moments; TitlMonitoring, an Always-on title surveillance with instant fraud alerts and TitlCheck, a pre-listing title check that gives sellers and agents a clear, high-level read on potential issues that could delay a closing so problems are identified early.
