Your opportunity

We’re supporting an emerging fintech company that is giving people more control over their finances and living situations by transforming how they handle one of their largest monthly expenses - housing payments. Already processing hundreds of millions in annual transactions, and with over $5 million in venture funding, a stable runway, strong product-market fit and a clear path to profitability, this team is well poised to scale their core platform and to continue building out an ambitious roadmap. If you’re interested in working on novel financial products that improve the average person’s relationship with credit and housing expenses, this could be the right opportunity for you.
