Our Leg Up

Our Leg Up (OLU) is an Australian fintech and proptech startup that connects homeowners with aspiring first-home buyers. Homeowners put their existing residential real estate equity to work as collateral, generating a passive income of 3%–4% per annum without refinancing, purchasing an investment property, or making any cash outlay. The equity is used to help buyers with low deposits (under 20%) access competitive home loans sooner, with banks benefiting from reduced risk and improved margins. Founded in 2025 and backed by Techstars Sydney and other Australian accelerators, Our Leg Up's platform bridges Australia's widening wealth gap by creating a mutual benefit: homeowners earn recurring income while aspiring owners get a leg up onto the property ladder.
