About Release
Capital for Every Commercial Real Estate Portfolio
Mid-market portfolio owners are underserved by banks that only chase institutional deals — and overcharged by hard money lenders. We built Release to close that gap.
Our Story
Built by Real Estate and Technology Operators
Release was founded by a team that saw the same problem from both sides: commercial real estate portfolio owners who needed working capital but couldn't access it quickly, and technology infrastructure that could solve the problem but hadn't been applied to real estate.
The insight was simple. If a portfolio of apartment buildings generates predictable rental income, you can advance capital against that cashflow. No need to lien the property. No mortgage holder approval. No personal guarantees.
We built the AI-powered underwriting engine to make it fast, the legal structure to make it clean, and the capital partnerships to make it scalable. The result: portfolio owners get capital in days instead of months, and brokers get a reliable funding source that doesn't kill deals with bureaucracy.
