SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Unison today celebrates being named a Deloitte Technology Fast 500™ winner for the second year in a row. Growing an impressive 5,878 percent from 2016 to 2019, the home co-investing leader was recognized as number seven in the Bay Area and number 38 among the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America.

Unison partners with institutional investors and homeowners to enable a smarter, better way to own a home. The company has completed over 7,800 home co-investments and invested in $5.4billion worth of homes. Unison also saw 217 percent year-over-year revenue growth from September 2018 through December 2019. In 2019, Unison was ranked 3rd in the Bay Area by Deloitte and 19th overall on the Technology Fast 500™ list.

"Home co-investing is an innovation whose time has come. For homeowners looking for more financial flexibility or institutional investors who need a less-risky alternative investment — equity investing with Unison provides a much-needed solution," said Unison CEO Thomas Sponholtz. "This back-to-back recognition by Deloitte underscores our position as the leader in home co-investing, an industry that's needed now more than ever."

To enable the company's significant growth, Unison created a residential equity technology platform that incorporates a robust data-science approach which aligns the modern needs of both consumers and institutional investors. As an example, Unison's patent pending technology allows for instantaneous investment decisions and insights based on a data-driven and backtested factor model for forecasting the price, return, and volatility of most homes in America. Paired with its proprietary Equity Origination System (EOS) that allows for expedited underwriting, approval and funding of deals, Unison has enabled significant scaling of investments in home equity.
