| Two Dots is an AI-native tenant screening and consumer underwriting platform built for multifamily operators and lenders. The product is anchored by Eve, a conversational underwriting agent that runs the entire applicant interaction — identity verification, document collection, income and employment verification, credit, criminal, eviction, andfraud detection — in a single workflow that returns a defensible approve-or-deny recommendation in minutes, not days. Two Dots replaces the legacy 3–5-vendor screening stack with one platform. Complex income (gig, 1099, self-employment, multiple sources, benefits) is handled natively — roughly 42% of multifamily applicants don't fit a standard W-2 workflow, and Two Dots was built around that reality. Edge cases are resolved by Two Dots' US-based specialist team, never by the customer's leasing staff. Customer outcomes include a 70%+ reduction in bad debt, ~$2M in annual savings per 10,000 units on average, and approval times compressed from days or hours to minutes for qualified applicants. Operators include BH Management, Pretium, Fogelman, MG Properties, Cerberus, FirstKey, RAM Partners, Moss & Associates, Timberland Partners, Corcoran, and Van Metre. 1M+ units screened across 43 states. 7M+ documents processed. Two Dots is SOC 2 Type II certified, FCRA-regulated, and FHA-regulated. The platform also includes a Lending product (agentic underwriting for consumer lenders), a Document Extraction API for straight-through processing, and an NOI Max tier with AI rent pricing, leasing criteria optimization, and acquisition intelligence. | $15M / Series A / Aug 28, 2024 | ||
