About us

Built by real estate professionals who have felt the pain firsthand.

Relay started with a real problem, not a market study. Our founder ran construction draws across a 20,000-unit portfolio the way most operators still do: one asset manager, fully reactive, chasing invoices and lien waivers against a deadline every single month. Vendors threatened to walk jobs over delayed payments. Ownership had to infuse cash just to bridge funding gaps that shouldn't have existed in the first place.

That experience is why Relay exists. We're built by people who've lived the draw process from the borrower's side — for owners, asset managers, and lenders who are tired of treating spreadsheets as infrastructure. Relay automates the parts of the workflow that don't need a human: sorting invoices, allocating budget, catching duplicates, enforcing checklists. It leaves the parts that do need a human exactly where they belong — in front of a person, with better information than they had before.

When every part of the draw process is aligned, capital moves. That's the whole point.

Our principles

Clarity. Cadence. Confidence.

Clarity

One shared view of where every project stands. No backlog buildup, no spreadsheet sprawl.

Cadence

Clean handoffs and predictable timing, from submission to funding.

Confidence

AI-driven accuracy that holds up when a servicer or lender looks closely — because it's built to be checked.
