The company intends to use the funds to expand sales and marketing efforts and to broaden and accelerate product development. The product targets multifamily operators by offering an alternative to traditional security deposits. LeaseLock offers a technology-powered insurance product for the residential rental market that replaces traditional security deposits by issuing an insurance policy that protects properties for all rent payments. Its underwriting uses a predictive risk algorithm so approved applicants can pay a LeaseLock fee that is translated into an insurance policy. The product is positioned to help renters with poor credit secure leases without cosigners or high deposits while also improving credit scores. Property managers benefit from higher lease conversion, reduced default losses, and improved cash flows, which can increase property values.

The program is backed by insurance rated A- by A.M. Best and supported by a $4 billion multiline reinsurer.
