About the Company

UpEquity is automating the time-consuming and manual tasks that plague the home buying process. With UpEquity's automated underwriting technology, we enable buyers to make all-cash offers and close their mortgage 3x faster than the industry. UpEquity was founded in 2019 by Tim Herman and Louis Wilson while they were attending Harvard Business School and later participated in Y Combinator's Summer 2019 batch.

Tech Stack

We use OCR technology to read through thousands of financial documents of potential borrowers, and we stitch together the entire industry on the backend so that the human factor is taken out of the equation.

We develop in Node.js and use a micro-service event driven architecture. All of our computing and storage is done in the cloud. We are happy to partner with other technologically advanced companies to complement our vision.

We are hiring and looking for senior talent with experience in working with AWS, distributed systems, personal financial information, and large amounts of data.

Founders

Before founding UpEquity I was a fighter pilot in the US Navy. I flew F/A-18s off aircraft carriers and was one of the first F-35C pilots in the Navy. After leaving the Navy, I attended Harvard Business School where I was a candidate for an MBA. Half way through my tenure at HBS, I participated in the S19 batch and dropped out of school.
