Award-winning accelerator welcomes Brokrly, Sayso, Velasight and Wispr into its third cohort, a new GTM program pairing founders with proptech marketing, media and growth leaders
BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Equity Angels announced its third cohort of proptech startups and its first accelerator built entirely around go-to-market, pairing four proptech founders with proven marketing, communications and growth leaders. Each company represents a unique angle of industry support, including brokerage data unification, live AI-based sales support, commercial property site analysis and off-market listing marketing.
Equity Angels fosters fair access to innovation and opportunity by centering its programs on connections to capital, diverse teams, business communities and go-to-market strategies.
"Artificial intelligence lets founders 10X their product output overnight, but it can't 10X human adoption," said Katherine Winston, co-founder and managing partner of Equity Angels. "The fundamentals of sales, marketing and relationship-building are more critical than ever. That's why we're bringing founders together with seasoned growth leaders to build go-to-market systems that scale in this new era."
Meet the 2026 cohort:
Sissi Xi Wang founded Brokrly to give real estate brokerages actionable business intelligence. After years of engineering AI agents for teams and brokerages, Wang found that a major obstacle was the lack of high-integrity data, which was scattered across disconnected systems and too inconsistent to build on. Brokrly fixes this by unifying a brokerage's operational and transactional data into a single source of truth. Leaders can then see where the business stands against its goals, understand why, and get clear recommendations on what to do next.
Kuvaal Patel launched Sayso to give real estate agents real-time, predictive scripting so more conversations turn into appointments and new customers. Unlike tools that analyze calls after they end, Sayso guides agents while the client is still on the line. Patel got his start in direct sales. Then, as a newly licensed agent, he sold more than 40 homes in his first 18 months before helping grow a real estate team to 60 agents as a Zillow partner. He recently made his first appearance on the Zillow Unlocked stage.
Jamal Jones built Velasight to answer the first question multifamily developers and family offices ask about a site: Is it worth pursuing? Today, analysts piece that answer together from data exports, census records and Excel models. Velasight combines zoning, infrastructure, ownership and market data into a single graph, then scores each census tract for displacement pressure and forward rent movement. The result is a clear pursue-or-pass recommendation before teams spend thousands on market studies and due diligence. Jones brings analyst experience on the owner side of affordable housing development and a Master of Science in International Real Estate from Florida International University.
Tom Gabriele created Wispr to unlock residential and commercial pre-market and off-market deals by helping agents collaborate across all brokerages through their trusted network of colleagues. In place of texts, WhatsApp threads and office whiteboards, Wispr gives them a single marketplace for "open to sell" listings and buyer searches, keeping them at the center of the client relationship. To date, 25% of pre-market opportunities shared on Wispr have converted to executed agreements. Gabriele brings two decades of experience in sales, corporate development and advertising technology, including roles at Experian and Auction.com.
Over six weeks, each founder builds a go-to-market blueprint and a 90-day action plan, then presents it to advisors and investors at Demo Day on Dec. 1. Equity Angels follows up through April 2027 to track results and provide continued guidance.
The advisory group is coming off its biggest year yet. Co-founders Katherine Winston and Kenya Burrell-VanWormer were named Inman's 2025 Innovators of the Year, among a field of nominees that included the CEOs of Realtor.com, CoStar Group, Rocket Companies, Inside Real Estate and Serhant. Several alumni companies collected honors from the National Association of Realtors, Inman and the National Fair Housing Alliance.
Winston leads the program alongside Natalia Iragorri and three advisors:
- Natalia Iragorri, program co-lead, built creator and brand education programs for YouTube and Twitter that certified more than 70,000 people worldwide.
- Marci James, founder of Be Inspired Digital, is a 25-year real estate marketing veteran who helped scale a proptech startup to $30 million in revenue and spent eight years at Realtor.com.
- Craig Rowe, a longtime real estate and tech columnist for Inman and HousingWire, has reviewed hundreds of real estate technology companies and advises proptech startups.
- Juan Cubillos, CEO of AntPack, brings 20 years in technology at Dell, VMware and EMC and has led digital growth for brands including Kia, Spotify and Under Armour.
Investors and industry partners interested in attending Demo Day can join the Equity Angels community for consideration.
