**What they do: **[UpEquity](https://www.builtinaustin.com/company/upequity) is democratizing homebuying by streamlining mortgage acquisition and underwriting. Through their process, which automates the back-end of mortgaging, homebuyers are guaranteed to close within 21 days and will be able to make a full cash offer to do so.

**Year founded: **2019

**Why we’re watching: **In October 2021, UpEquity announced that [it had raised $50 million](https://www.builtinaustin.com/2021/10/20/upequity-raises-50m-proptech-mortgage-platform-hiring) in Series B funding. It plans to use that funding to increase its headcount from 90 to about 230, moving to a new office space to accommodate the larger team.
