Brace

Brace (Brace Software, Inc., brace.ai) was a Culver City, California fintech founded in 2017 by Eric Rachmel and Amr Mohamed that rebuilt mortgage default servicing as software. Its Default Management Platform covered the end-to-end loss-mitigation lifecycle for servicers, lenders and investors — a homeowner engagement portal, a centralized responsive application, a rules and underwriting engine, document classification and data extraction, and event-driven communications and reporting — replacing the paper-based, inconsistent default workflows used by top U.S. mortgage servicers. The company raised a reported ~$30M and was acquired by Boston-based mortgage technology firm Stavvy, announced 1 August 2023, folding Brace's loss-mitigation platform into Stavvy's eClosing, digital notarization and foreclosure suite. Brace does not survive as an independent surface: brace.ai now 301-redirects every path to stavvy.com/mortgage-servicing-solution, and no docs., developer., api. or app. subdomain resolves in DNS. No public API, developer portal, machine-readable specification or SDK was ever published under the Brace brand — the Wayback CDX index for brace.ai carries no developer or API path — so this profile records identity and exit rather than an API surface.

Brace is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Mortgage, Mortgage Servicing, Loss Mitigation, and Default Servicing.

  detail: Brace was acquired by Stavvy (announced 1 August 2023) and fully absorbed — brace.ai now 301-redirects every path,
    including /robots.txt, to stavvy.com/mortgage-servicing-solution, and docs., developer., api. and app.brace.ai have all
    been removed from DNS, so there is no Brace-branded surface left to read.
