Ownright (formerly Doormat) is Ontario’s real estate lawyer, revolutionizing a critical stage of the homeownership experience through an online personalized experience where buyers and sellers can conveniently communicate, negotiate, and complete their real estate transactions, all within a user-friendly and secure environment. Combining legal tech and proptech, Ownright is evolving the untapped real estate lawyer industry and is dedicated to simplifying the real estate transaction process, starting in Ontario. Through its online platform, Ownright is bringing much-needed simplicity and ease to a complex process and is building a better way to do real estate.

Why we invested

Over the past decade, platforms have emerged to streamline mortgages, insurance, and other aspects of homeownership—but the legal side remains largely underserved. Ownright is changing that by building a platform that improves the experience not only for homeowners and their advisors, but critically, for the lawyers handling home sales and refinancings. Much of the closing work is repetitive, rules-based, and well-suited for automation—making it especially ripe for innovation.
