The UPworld team seeks to make professional networking online easy for everyone. We envisioned an online platform through which real estate and building professionals can establish valuable business contacts, deals, and projects. Thanks to our members, our vision has become a reality, and UPworld provides the best online networking services to thousands of professionals in eight building-related industries worldwide. We pride ourselves not only on our expertise in online networking but also on our ability to relate to our members as building professionals ourselves.

Jennifer Magee: Co-Founder + CEO

Jennifer Magee has a unique dual background in architecture and real estate development, receiving her Master in Real Estate Development from Columbia University (2005) and her Master of Science in Architecture from the University of Cincinnati (1998). As both an architect and real estate developer in New York City, Jennifer understands the building process in its entirety, from how deals are made to how buildings are built. Furthermore, she recognizes the need to make this fragmented and specialized process more cohesive. Jennifer sees UPworld as the next step in professional networking, bringing the building process online and allowing professionals to share their knowledge and expertise as well as create new business opportunities. She attributes her success as an architect and real estate developer to her readiness to embrace new technology, such as UPworld, which allows her to communicate ideas and transmit information both easily and effectively.
