Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Traditionally, homeowners spend considerable time and money to prepare a property for sale. Sundae is a property marketplace that allows homeowners to list homes in any state of repair. The company claims this leads to faster sales, fairer prices, and the bypassing of agency fees.

Through its platform Sundae pairs homeowners and several thousands of property developers, it facilitates the purchases, and provides a cash advance before closing to help homeowners with various expenses. The company now operates in over 14 markets across multiple US states.

The company recently reported a revenue increase of 600% year-over-year and plans to continue this growth following impressive investments, with one round attracting celebrity investors including Will Smith. It plans to expand into new cities and grow its workforce whilst investing into into building brand awareness.
