Ender looks to updated an industry that is "stuck in the dark ages" with the help of the capital raised in its latest seed funding round.

Ender, a new Austin-based real estate company with a platform aimed at streamlining the rental property management process, has raised $7 million in a seed round of funding.

Jason Mirra, Co-Founder and CTO of Ender, says he hasn’t seen “an industry so backward since govtech.”
