About Us

What began with a shared passion for modernizing the antiquated world of appraisals, has grown into a mission to make valuations innovative, affordable, and available for everyone.

Our Story

Blakbird was born from personal experiences that proved how difficult and outdated traditional appraisal processes can be. Deb, a professional appraiser with 18 years of experience, saw firsthand the frustration of people seeking accessibility and accuracy in valuing their belongings. Meanwhile, Udi, a 15-year AI veteran, realized the power of technology to bring speed, precision, and scale to this vital industry. Together, they set out to build Blakbird—a platform designed to give users the tools they need to effectively value, manage, and take care of their personal belongings.

Meet The Founders

A professional appraiser with 18 years of experience, Deb has delivered over 18,000 valuations of real and personal property. She previously founded Eval.com, a company that grew to serve 3% of all banks in the U.S. in its first three years. 

With a PhD in Machine Learning and Evolutionary Computation from University College London, Udi has over 15 years of experience in AI, engineering, and data leadership, including roles at unicorn companies Freshly and Fever.
