Corlen
We're building an AI native system of record for commercial real estate allowing real estate capital to move faster.
Lenders today spend too much time sorting through incomplete applications and chasing borrowers for missing files and information. Deal data is fragmented across spreadsheets, CRMs, email, and legacy loan origination systems that are little more than audit engines. Corlen is a purpose-built platform for the work between application and underwriting. We help lending teams qualify inbound deal flow earlier, assemble complete loan files faster, identify issues before underwriting, and keep borrowers moving without constant manual follow-up. By centralizing lending guidelines, borrower information, documents, communications, and deal history, Agora is building a true system of record and intelligence for private lending. Our founding team combines firsthand real estate experience - our CEO previously co-founded a real estate investment firm - with experience building enterprise software and AI systems at Rippling, Meta, and LinkedIn.

Building the future of commercial real estate lending @ Agora. We’re creating an AI-native loan processing platform that unifies fragmented borrower, asset, and transaction data into a system of record for CRE lenders - helping teams process loans faster, make better credit decisions, and operate with far less manual work. Previously, I was a Staff Engineer and Tech Lead Manager at Rippling, where I helped build and lead the foundations of Rippling’s AI platform and product strategy.
