Seed Round in 2021
Otso Corp operates a lease securitization platform designed to enhance capital flexibility for tenants while improving property values for landlords. Recognizing the common challenges in commercial real estate transactions, such as cash deposits and burdensome credit assessments, Otso developed the Otso Guarantee. This innovative solution allows tenants to access their capital immediately upon lease commencement, enabling them to invest in better spaces, equipment, and hiring without the financial strain typical of traditional leasing practices. By issuing "same as cash" guarantees for approved tenants, Otso provides landlords with a level of assurance that minimizes risk without tying up critical cash reserves. This approach not only streamlines the leasing process but also promotes a more transparent and efficient experience for all parties involved. As Otso continues to grow, it aims to integrate this model into a broader vision that focuses on reducing friction and facilitating quicker, more informed lease decisions.
