What Vestris does

Vestris automates title processing end-to-end, from contract to close, so title shops can close more deals with fewer processors. Title insurance has famously high margins, but slow, manual processing is a constant pain - especially in today's bleeding housing market.

AI native platform for real estate closings

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

Vestris is an AI-native platform that automates title processing for real estate deals. We handle the entire flow from contract to close, removing manual steps for title shops and processors. Title insurance is lucrative but bogged down by slow, manual workflows. Our tech speeds up closings so shops can handle more deals without growing headcount.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the best place to hire engineering talent and build a focused early-stage company. It's also close to early customers and other real estate tech companies we want to learn from.
