OJO Labs

A tenacious leader on a mission, John Berkowitz has set out to ensure 100% of consumers can experience the physical, financial and emotional haven that a home provides.

“At OJO Labs, we envision a world where everyone has what they need to own a home,” says Berkowitz. In 2021, he led the company through exceptional growth, including a $62.5 million funding round, two acquisitions and expansion into Canada.

“Following a year of tremendous growth, we’re poised to support more consumers than ever before. This momentum has propelled the company forward and allowed us to take meaningful steps in our pursuit to level the playing field for all, regardless of where or when a consumer begins their journey,” he adds.

Berkowitz has pioneered an approach to data transparency that allows people to make one of life’s biggest investments with confidence, leading an industry-first partnership with ClimateCheck to help homebuyers understand a property’s climate risk. Under his leadership, OJO Labs has continued to grow and push for positive change.
