2025 Rising Star: Weston Conway

Weston Conway

Weston Conway, chief operating officer at Closinglock, has played a pivotal role in transforming the company from a simple wire instruction portal into the leading fintech and security solution for real estate transactions. Since joining as one of the earliest hires, he has been instrumental in driving 25x revenue growth, expanding secure payment solutions that now process over $600 million, and protecting more than $500 billion in transactions from fraud. With experience scaling high-growth companies like Procore and Dropbox, he has set new industry standards for security, efficiency and adoption in real estate technology.

Under Conway’s leadership, Closinglock has achieved significant milestones, including securing a $34 million Series B funding round — just one year after raising $12 million in Series A. Over the past year, he led the development of the company’s Good Funds Payments tool, streamlining transactions for thousands of title agents. Conway is a respected industry thought leader, frequently collaborating with trade organizations and speaking on emerging cybersecurity threats, including AI-driven fraud.

A hands-on leader, Conway focuses on solving real-world problems by working closely with customers rather than forcing new technology onto a traditionally slow-moving market. He drives adoption by aligning sales, customer success and product teams, ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows. His leadership has also led to the creation of Closinglock’s industry-first wire fraud insurance policy, offering up to $2.5 million in protection per verified transfer. By prioritizing security, efficiency and innovation, Conway is redefining how real estate transactions are protected and managed at scale.

What is one habit that has helped you succeed?

I have a habit of saying yes to big challenges — then breaking them down into clear, strategic steps and executing with urgency. Whether it was helping scale Closinglock’s revenue 25x, driving adoption of our secure payments tool across thousands of customers, or tackling the evolving threat of real estate fraud, I’ve learned that success comes from bold decisions paired with disciplined follow-through. By leading with action and adaptability, I’ve been able to tackle complex challenges through industry-changing solutions, building a more secure and efficient future for real estate transactions.
