Terms of the deal were not announced.
Daniel R. Morris, reQuire founder and CEO, noted, "We considered a number of partnership opportunities over the years and I believe the L2 Capital team are the perfect match for reQuire. Bob Levine and his team immediately understood our vision, mission, and the business opportunity along with ways they could help us grow. Their experience, acumen, resources, and industry contacts will undoubtedly position reQuire as the 'go to' source for risk abatement solutions addressing the title and mortgage industries.

Founded in 2002, reQuire provides a unique solution to the epidemic problem in the industry related to unreleased liens associated with mortgages and deeds of trust.
