SEATTLE, March 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- JetClosing, the leader in 21st century title & escrow, announced hiring Anna Collins as President & CEO and the close of $11 million in Series B funding. Collins brings an impressive track record of scaling new businesses and extensive leadership experience to the JetClosing team, having worked at notable technology companies, including Amazon, Microsoft, aQuantive, and several start-ups. The round includes follow-on investments from PSL Ventures, Trilogy Equity Partners, and others, as well as investment from funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.
