Fello (software)

[edit]

Fello is an American software company that develops a data and marketing platform for professionals in the real estate and mortgage industries. The company was founded in 2021 and is based in Cleveland, Ohio.

History

[edit]

The company was established in March 2021 by co-founders Ryan Young, Stephen London, Tom Schrader, and Suman Varanasi. It initially operated as an "iBuyer" company named FlashHouse. In June 2022, the company changed its name to Fello[1] and shifted its business model to focus on providing software for real estate agents. To support this transition, it announced it had raised $25 million in a funding round that included investment from Javelin Venture Partners.[2]

In 2024, the company expanded its services to include the mortgage industry, incorporating AI-powered features into its platform.[3]

Software

[edit]

Fello provides a software as a service (SaaS) product that integrates with third-party customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Independent tech reviews from the publication Inman have described the platform's evolution. In late 2022, it was analyzed as a "hybrid iBuyer" tool that helped agents engage potential home sellers.[4] A subsequent review in 2023 focused on its function as a tool for winning seller leads by enriching an agent's existing contact database to identify and market to likely sellers.[5]

Industry Recognition

[edit]

Inc. magazine ranked Fello at #23 on its 2025 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. The company was also a finalist for an Inman Innovator Award in 2024[6] and was named a HousingWire Tech100 honoree in 2025.[7]
