DepotPoint Secures $7 Million in Series C Funding

DepotPoint, Inc., an industry-leading provider of technologies and services for the changing real estate market, including the foreclosure market, today announced it has secured $7 million of additional equity capital. The round was led by OVP Venture Partners, with participation from previous investor Trident Capital.

"DepotPoint's tools will significantly streamline the foreclosure process for banks and mortgage servicers," said Mark Ashida, Managing Director with OVP Venture Partners. "Additionally, ForeclosurePoint.com, their foreclosure marketplace, will truly change the game, enabling brokers and others to buy and sell foreclosure properties more easily. OVP is a believer in the SaaS model, and DepotPoint is a prime example of the immediate value the enterprise customer can see from such an approach," he said. Ashida will join DepotPoint's Board of Directors.

Prakash Kondepudi, President and Chief Executive Officer of DepotPoint, added, "We are excited to have OVP and Trident Capital as partners in our journey to bring efficiencies to a market that is facing significant headwinds. With our innovative technologies, we hope to change the way distressed properties are processed by creating new efficiencies in mortgage servicing and real estate transactions."

ForeclosurePoint.com member Barry Wilber of Russell Investments says this about the company's marketplace: "ForeclosurePoint.com demystifies the complexity of the foreclosure market, offering an easy-to-use solution that anyone interested in purchasing a property can put to use. And unlike other listing services available today, it encompasses all of the integral components -- including expert real estate agent partners -- necessary to fully participate and successfully buy a foreclosure property. From my perspective, ForeclosurePoint.com is the first solution to date poised for mass-market adoption."

DepotPoint will use the additional capital to support broader adoption of its solutions for the mortgage servicing market.
