Software DevelopmentCalifornia, United States0-1 Employees

Wildfire, a software development company now acquired by Opendoor, is based in San Francisco, California. The firm created a real-time news alert app designed for college communities to quickly spread information about nearby events and safety updates, as well as tips and general chatter. Its product serves students across campuses, addressing the need for timely and localized messaging to inform peers about important happenings nearby. Positioned within the software industry, Wildfire historically operated as a social and information-sharing platform targeted at higher education audiences, growing to broad usage among millions of students and achieving notable placement in the news category among social platforms. The company originated as a YC-funded venture (S17) and has since become part of Opendoor, reflecting a shift in corporate ownership while the product focus remains centered on rapid, campus-wide communication. A recent notable development includes its acquisition by Opendoor, with the original platform continuing to exist within the broader corporate structure.
