Challenge
Manual lender outreach through Outlook could not scale with deal volume
Before Lev, Essex sent hundreds of lender emails manually and tracked every response in Outlook. The process was inconsistent, hard to audit, and pulled the team away from upfront diligence — the work lenders actually trust Essex for.
Essex brings institutional-level knowledge to middle-market deals, but without a systematic launch workflow, that diligence did not always show up in how outreach was organized. The firm needed one platform where deal prep, lender discovery, and response tracking lived together.
