With more than 100,000 users of the Ownly platform since its inception in 2020, Jason and his team are set to release the industry's most comprehensive buyer verification tool, Ownly Verified, early next year. Under Jason's leadership,Ownly has partnered with leading brands, including HonestDoor and Homewise, to deepen the company's mission of making home buying easier for both buyers and sellers. Jason also spearheaded the securement of the company's oversubscribed CAD $2.55MM seed funding round in September to support its rapid expansion into U.S. markets.
“The HW Tech Trendsetters award gives us the opportunity to spotlight the names and faces behind the tech companies that are transforming the housing economy,” said HousingWire Editor and Chief Sarah Wheeler.“These innovators are critical to the outstanding performance of their mortgage and real estate clients and have, yet again, surpassed all expectations by tackling some of housing's most pressing issues.”
