Medici Land Governance

What Medici Land Governance does

Medici Land Governance (MLG) is a private blockchain and AI software company founded in 2018 as a subsidiary of Overstock.com, headquartered in Utah. The company develops an integrated land governance platform combining blockchain-based immutable records, AI-powered document intelligence (DocAI), GIS mapping via drones and LiDAR, and systematic land titling workflows. Its product suite includes the Land Information Management System, Public Records on Blockchain, AI Recording (DocAI/Smart Search), Land Valuation and Taxation, Systematic Land Titling, and Geographic Information Systems, with sub-products like the Ubutaka App (Rwanda) and ENUM mobile application for field data collection.

MLG operates as a business-to-government (B2G) enterprise exclusively, serving county record offices, city governments, state agencies, and national land administration ministries across the US (7 states including Wyoming, Maryland, New York, Ohio, California, Illinois, Utah) and 9+ countries (Zambia, Rwanda, Liberia, St. Kitts and Nevis, Guyana, Sierra Leone, Colombia, DRC, Mexico). The company generates revenue through project-based contracts, RFP wins, and government procurement for platform deployment, implementation services, and ongoing operational support. Notable deployments include the first US county blockchain land records (Teton County, Wyoming, June 2019), deed fraud prevention proof-of-concept for NYC Department of Finance, Baltimore vacant property tracking (228,000+ properties), Zambia nationwide systematic titling targeting 4 million certificates, and Rwanda paperless land transfers reducing transaction times from 2-8 weeks to 2-4 days.

The business model combines direct enterprise field sales with partnership-enabled execution, leveraging academic partners (University of Twente), prime contractors (Tetra Tech), and local field operators (Arce Rojas) to scale delivery without proportional headcount growth. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue mechanics driven by large multi-year government contracts that are lumpy in nature. Leadership is led by CEO Dr. Ali El Husseini with a small executive team, and Peter George serves as Board Chairman as of December 2023.

Core offering

Medici Land Governance (MLG) builds and implements a blockchain-based land governance platform that modernizes land titling, recording, and administration for government clients. Its core deliverables include a Public Records on Blockchain system, an AI-powered DocAI document recording engine, a Land Information Management System, Systematic Land Titling programs, GIS-based cadastral mapping with drone and LiDAR data capture, and automated Land Valuation and Taxation. The platform is sold primarily through government contracts and RFPs to county, state, and national land administration agencies in the U.S. and internationally.

Product overview

Medici Land Governance (MLG) offers a unified platform architecture combining multiple interconnected products for end-to-end land governance. The core system includes the Land Information Management System as the central administration platform, integrated with Blockchain Records for immutable storage, AI Recording (DocAI) for document intelligence, Land Valuation and Taxation for automated property assessment, Systematic Land Titling for title issuance, and Geographic Information Systems for geospatial data. The products are designed to work together - GIS data feeds valuation models, DocAI processes documents for the Land Information System, blockchain provides tamper-proof verification for land records, and Systematic Land Titling leverages all these components for comprehensive property documentation. Additional offerings include the Ubutaka App for Rwanda's paperless registration and the ENUM mobile application for field data collection.
