What are some major milestones in the company’s history?

Symba has worked hard to build a first-of-a-kind product for a space greatly needing innovation and support. We’ve gotten that product to market and are helping agents manage their businesses like never before.

We’ve done so by building an amazingly talented team, finding the right investors, listening to customers, and aligning ourselves with great partners.

What is your company working on right now?

After launching our product and getting paying customers across the country, we’ve begun building the next major phase of the product which is team and brokerage management which will allow us to sell to an entire brokerage.

From a sales perspective, we will be launching major partnerships with Chicago Association of Realtors and a large MLS in New England. These partnerships will get us distribution to 30,000+ agents.

What’s on the horizon for your company in 2023?

We hope to have successful launches in Chicago and New England region, launch our brokerage features, and raise a seed round giving us the runway to build out more of our vision and reach larger audiences.

Give us one bold prediction in 2023 for startups, technology or venture capital/fundraising?

We are going to see major disruption due to artificial intelligence and 2023 will be the first year general consumers will begin to clearly feel it and engage with it directly versus in the background of apps they are familiar with.
