description: '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.'

  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.
