Homepoint Wins $75K at Alabama Launchpad: A Major Milestone for Our Mission

We are thrilled to share that Homepoint has been named the winner of the Technology Track in the Alabama Launchpad startup competition, earning $75,000 in non-dilutive funding.

What this win means for Homepoint

This award validates what we have been building over the past year: a technology-driven real estate platform that makes buying and selling homes simpler, more transparent, and more affordable.

The funding will help us launch our 2026 marketing plan, accelerate growth, and introduce Homepoint’s new model across Alabama and beyond. The recognition from Alabama Launchpad, part of the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama, also opens doors to mentorship, strategic partnerships, and broader exposure.

Why this matters to you

At Homepoint, we believe consumers deserve a better way to experience real estate.

• A real person by your side from start to finish

• Technology that adds value through education and streamlined processes, not gatekeeping

• Savings that go back to you instead of your agent

This win reinforces our commitment to that mission.

What’s next

We will be increasing our marketing and outreach across Alabama in early 2026, so you will start seeing more of what Homepoint offers in your communities.
We will continue improving our platform and support model to make buying or selling a home less stressful, more transparent, and more cost-effective.
We are also preparing for expansion and laying the groundwork for growth beyond Alabama.

A word of thanks

We are deeply grateful to the Alabama startup community for believing in founders like us. Thank you to the Alabama Launchpad team, the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama, and the judges who selected Homepoint from a strong group of finalists. And to our early customers and supporters, this milestone belongs to you as well.

We are excited for what’s ahead and look forward to sharing our journey with you. If you are thinking about buying or selling a home in Alabama or beyond, visit homepoint.co to see how we are redefining real estate.
