What is the primary problem that Goliath solves?
Real estate is more competitive than ever, with more than 4 million agents. Since 78% of homeowners sign with the first agent they speak to, sharing the right message at the right time is key in determining the success of a realtor. Top agents focus on the three Ls: leads, listings and leverage. But they can’t be everywhere. Goliath changes the game by allowing them to focus purely on supporting the homeowners.
How do you do that?
Goliath harnesses machine learning to detect life changes as they happen, giving agents a head start. By spotting these key moments early, we schedule appointments with homeowners and match them with our agent partners. Our system guides homeowners through tailored options based on timing, property condition and selling motivation — ensuring agents connect at the perfect moment while homeowners understand all their choices.
How did the company get its start?
I first connected with my co-founder and COO, Austin Beveridge, during late nights at Arc, a financial technology platform, bonding over shared passions for technology and real estate. We listened to industry operators — from realtors to bankers — and spotted a recurring problem: reaching the homeowners as they’re deciding to sell. In just two weeks, we built a simple solution that landed our first paying customer, setting the stage for Goliath’s rapid evolution.
What are a couple big wins you’ve enjoyed so far with Goliath?
Our wins speak for themselves. One of our partners, Andrew Austin, with five years in the field, has already generated $8 million in listings in a single month — almost doubling his career volume. Real estate investor, Michael Hartman, secured $800,000 in contracts in under a week. As we speak (February 2025), we’re on track for $20 million in listings and $5 million in investor deals this month.
What’s next?
We’re currently raising our next round of equity financing to expand our engineering team and enter new Southern markets including Huntsville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham and Greensboro/Winston-Salem. We’re also partnering with brokerages like EXP, Keller Williams and NextHome to connect with top agents and deliver unmatched support to homeowners.
