led the round, which included participation from previous investors (the firm led Snapdocs鈥� $15 million Series A in 2017) and . The financing brings Snapdocs鈥檛o just over $43 million since it was founded in 2012. The San Francisco-based company went through accelerator program in the 2014 winter batch.

Snapdocs claims its platform currently powers over 10 percent of all U.S. residential mortgage transactions, which amounts to about $150 billion in real estate transactions annually. It helps process about 750,000 real estate closings a year and has developed a network of over 50,000 industry service providers such as lenders, title companies and notaries.

, the company鈥檚 founder and CEO, said Snapdoc is is not out to try and disrupt the industry. It鈥檚 instead trying to help its players 鈥渨ork better together.鈥� It also aims to reduce the time borrowers spend at the closing table from over an hour to just 15 minutes by doing things such as giving them the ability to review lengthy documents digitally beforehand, for example, according to King.

鈥淵ou have 12 different industries trying to interact to make a real estate transaction happen. We鈥檙e focused on helping those parties coordinate better,鈥� he said. 鈥淥ur goal has been to become the connective tissue to help those different industries improve their workflow in a more seamless, automated way by tackling the complex underlying machinery of the entire process.鈥�

King told me that Snapdocs has intentionally opted not to raise too much funding because it鈥檚 鈥渘ot the type of company trying to burn tons of capital.鈥�

鈥淢y last company was bootstrapped, so we have that in our DNA,鈥� he told me. 鈥淚n almost every fundraising round, we鈥檝e had opportunities to raise at higher valuations but we believe if you鈥檙e going to build a really enduring company, it鈥檚 more important to pick the right partners.鈥�

The company will use the new capital to help “fuel growth” and further invest in its technology. It鈥檚 also planning to grow its recently-opened Denver office.

As part of the funding round, , managing partner of F-Prime Capital鈥檚 tech fund, will join Snapdocs鈥� board.

鈥淩esidential mortgage is a $2 trillion industry and one of the largest sectors yet to be digitized,鈥� said F-Prime Capital鈥檚 Jegan in a written statement. 鈥淭he entire closing process is cumbersome and in need of a better workflow for collaboration, coordination and transparency. Snapdocs has built the leading vertical SaaS solution to this problem and is well-positioned to become the industry鈥檚 platform for digital mortgage closings.鈥�
