ZipMatch operates a property portal covering sales and rentals in the Philippines, augmenting listings with 360‑degree photos and extensive building and unit reports. The site matches users with property brokers and home‑loan partners, positioning itself as a lead‑generation and agent‑subscription business. It generates revenue through lead generation for financial partners and subscription fees from agents who list on the site. ZipMatch works with incumbent brokers and agencies rather than attempting to fully displace them, offering tools and coaching to improve agent behavior and content. The company previously raised $1 million and has just closed a $2.5 million Series A to strengthen its domestic business and expand regionally. Its product roadmap includes expanding coverage across Philippine cities (Manila nearly complete; Cebu and Davao next) and adding more backend integrations for property professionals. Management says it may enter three to four Southeast Asian countries over the next 18 months, executing one market at a time. ZipMatch is a Manila, Philippines-based company that provides solutions for the real estate industry. It operates a real-estate portal offering property buyers a curated selection of properties plus information on real estate trends, investment and finance advice, and a concierge service. The company is led by co-founders Chow Paredes and John Dang and IT Director Kyle Wiltshire. ZipMatch raised its first seed round of undisclosed size and intends to use the funds to roll out its solutions on a larger scale. The round was led by IMJ Fenox with participation from 500 Startups, IdeaSpace and Hatchd Digital. ZipMatch is hiring.
