Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Tomo is a fintech startup looking to revolutionize the real estate industry, which has been lagging behind other crucial modern sectors in terms of leveraging the potential of new technological developments. Tomo’s ambition is strong, and whilst it's keeping its horizons broad, the company is starting with a mortgage and transaction platform aimed at making the transaction process smoother for both estate agents and consumers.
The founding members of Tomo are both former executives at the real estate database giant Zillow, and their impressive seed funding includes backing from Trulia co-founder Pete Flint and Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff. This level of confidence and experience puts the company in good stead within the increasingly competitive real estate tech industry. What's more, Tomo is smart to place equal emphasis on the buyer as well as the seller - this distinguishes its platform from more seller-centric offerings like Zillow Offer and OpenDoor.
With impressive seed funding and investor confidence, coupled with experienced leadership and a potentially massive market, Tomo is well-positioned to deliver on its ambitious promise.

The onboarding was so thorough. I got the opportunity to meet with leaders from different departments and learn about what they do, what they're working on, and how I can contribute. I also loved the near one-on-one time with the founders and senior level leadership.

Tomo does three days in office with the entire team and two days from home. They're always great about prioritizing work/life balance and giving you flexibility if you need to adjust working hours or be present with family.
