Launched in 2013, Compass is a technology-driven real estate platform with offices in New York City and Washington, D.C., that combines exceptional agents with best-in-class technology to make the process of buying, selling and renting a home intelligent and seamless. Founded by Ori Allon—the former Director of Engineering for Twitter—and Robert Reffkin— formerly the Chief of Staff to the President and COO of Goldman Sachs—Compass is the first residential brokerage in the country to offer a proprietary mobile app exclusively for its agents, enabling them to update listings, conduct searches, respond to leads and communicate with clients. The agent app, in addition to the company’s integrated consumer web and mobile platform, was built by a team of 17 staff engineers who hail from companies including Google, Twitter and Facebook. To date, Compass has grown to 300 team members, attracted $600 million in exclusive listings, and raised $73 million from investors including Founder’s Fund, Thrive Capital, .406 Ventures and Advance Publications
