Andy White

Founder and CEO
Closinglock

Andy White is the Founder and CEO of Closinglock, a software platform combining proptech and fintech to power and protect real estate transactions. Founded in 2017, Closinglock provides title companies and law firms with a secure, all-in-one platform to process payments, verify identities, exchange wire instructions, manage documents, and collect eSignatures—ensuring a safer, more efficient closing process. To date, Closinglock has secured over $500 billion in transactions and protected over one million home sales from fraud.

Andy was inspired to create Closinglock after his wife, Abigail, witnessed a homebuyer nearly lose their life savings to wire fraud. Realizing they had unknowingly faced the same risk when purchasing their own home, Andy questioned why the industry still relied on unsecured, outdated methods for handling trillions of dollars flowing through escrow accounts each year. Drawing on over a decade in engineering experience, including as a Performance Architect at Samsung, he developed a secure way to exchange wire instructions, which has since evolved into a comprehensive solution that replaces high-risk processes and eliminates wire fraud.

As a first-time entrepreneur, Andy bootstrapped Closinglock, even cashing out his 401(k) savings to fund its early development. Breaking into a highly traditional, regulated industry required overcoming skepticism and educating stakeholders about the growing fraud threat. Despite these challenges, Closinglock has become the go-to platform for secure real estate transactions, driven by continuous innovation and close customer partnerships.

The company’s success has been marked by rapid growth, including a $12 million Series A in early 2024, followed just one year later by a $34 million Series B in January 2025. This momentum reflects the industry's increasing reliance on Closinglock’s technology to combat fraud and modernize the closing process.

Andy is a recognized leader in fraud prevention, fintech innovation, and real estate security. Through bold vision and persistence, he continues to drive Closinglock’s mission to eliminate fraud and make real estate transactions safer, faster, and more efficient for all parties.
