AST Defeasance is the first choice of commercial real estate borrowers and lenders looking for the highest quality and lowest cost defeasance consultants. There are real differences between AST Defeasance and its competitors: 1) NO UPFRONT FEES. We don't get paid until the deal closes. 2) We offer the lowest cost defeasance services in the industry since we refuse to partner with individual broker-dealers. AST collects multiple bids from the largest investment banks on Wall Street. 3) We'll close your deal in 2 weeks guaranteed. 4) We have a 100% closing track record. 5) AST Defeasance assesses each commercial real estate deal individually, utilizing state-of-the-art techniques to lower defeasance costs, including Residual Sharing, Defeasing to the Open Window and Competitive Securities Pricing and Custom-Made Securities. We know that defeasance is often the smallest part of our clients’ commercial real estate refinancings or sales. AST Defeasance manages the entire defeasance process from start to finish so you can focus on your closing.

Thunder is building AI agents for B2B growth, starting with paid ads. Our platform gives growth marketers the same 100x leverage that engineers are getting from tools like Claude Code and Codex. Rather than sell another piece of software into an already fragmented stack, Thunder sells the entire outcome: customers hand us their paid channels, and we use our software to take responsibility for strategy, execution, and results. We capture more value than a traditional tool, while creating the feedback loop to build agents, memory, and workflows that let one exceptional operator do the work of an entire traditional team. Thunder raised a pre-seed in late 2025 and is backed by early leaders at OpenAI and HubSpot. We're live with paying customers, from high-growth Series A-C companies to larger enterprises, and are using our product to run their paid channels end-to-end.

Topline Pro is co-founded by Nick Ornitz (CEO) and Shannon Kay (CPO) with an excellent team of 40+ rockstars with plans to expand more in 2025. We serve thousands of local service businesses and were named as one of the 2023 top 50 Tech Companies building for SMBs. We're YC-backed and well funded (Series A 2023) with several years runway, and we’ve experienced rapid growth in the past year.
