AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OJO Labs, an Austin-based proptech company preparing more people to be successful homeowners, today announced it ranked number 29 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™ North America list, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America. The list places OJO Labs among the top 3 fastest growing companies in the Texas region.
Over the past two years, OJO Labs has doubled down on its commitment to removing industry barriers, creating new pathways for consumers that have typically been locked out of homeownership. This clear vision has helped drive tremendous growth, despite the challenges of a global pandemic and competitive housing market. In fact, the company saw a 6,731% increase in revenue growth over the past three years, and has been involved in more than $3 billion in real estate closings on all of its platforms combined in 2021. Earlier this year, the company also made its first national expansion with the launch of OJO Canada, bringing the platform to millions of consumers in one of the world’s hottest and most competitive real estate markets.
Additionally, the company successfully launched and scaled OJO Select Network, an exclusive referral program which matches agents with proven expertise to homebuyers and sellers based on a deep understanding of the agent’s skill set and the consumer’s needs. The OJO Select Network grew to 20,000 agents in its first year.
“We know that, for lots of people, buying a home is a symbol of progress, a means of security, and a gateway to wealth. It’s a dream for many, but a reality to only a few. Over the past two years, we’ve been laser-focused on helping more people realize this dream, and ultimately unlock life’s possibilities” said John Berkowitz, founder and CEO at OJO Labs. “I believe that aligning your business model to your mission is the key to unlocking growth — and this incredible honor is a testament to that.”
The Deloitte Technology Fast 500™ 2021 ranking was compiled based on submitted applications and public company database research, with winners selected based on their percentage fiscal-year growth over a three-year period.
