Point

Point is on a mission to help the millions of equity-rich, but cash-constrained, Americans tap into their homes’ wealth to attain greater financial freedom.

Palo Alto, CA

Point is the first fintech platform where homeowners can sell equity in their homes, giving investors access to a new asset class – owner-occupied residential real estate. Historically, the only way a homeowner could unlock the wealth in their home was to take on further debt. Now with an equity investment from Point, they can de-leverage and diversify their wealth so they can invest in their small businesses, make home repairs, pay off debt, or go back to school. Point is the first consumer finance product that is truly aligned with the customer. When the homeowner does well, Point and its investors do well.

We are a well-financed, fast-growing startup backed by top investors like Andreessen Horowitz, located in downtown Palo Alto just minutes from Caltrain. Point's founders have previously founded TrialPay (acquired by Visa), Yub (acquired by Coupons.com), Metails (acquired by Buy.com), SiteAdvisor (acquired by McAfee), Affirm, SendGrid (acquired by Twilio), and TXN (acquired by Envestnet).
