The US Real Estate Tech Market Map: 120+ Startups Reinventing The World’s Largest Asset Class

The real estate tech industry is slowly recovering in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Year-to-date real estate tech funding currently sits at about $6.7B, lagging the $8.9B startups received last year. Despite this drop in funding,  2020 has seen several successful exits in the space, including Ke Holding’s $2.1B IPO, Porch’s $523M SPAC deal, and OpenDoor Labs’ $4.8B SPAC merger.

In the broader real estate market, buying and selling activities have picked up in the last few months. Demand for mortgage and insurance services went up, with mortgage and lending startups Blend, Snapdocs, JetClosing, and Till all raising new equity funding rounds since July 2020.

On the insurance side, Hippo, Rhino, and Kin recently raised new funding rounds as well, with Hippo’s $150M Series E round in July bumping the company to a $1.5B valuation.
