About Us
We are reinventing consumer credit - starting with the $1T credit card market. We massively reduce the cost of capital by using technology to easily tap into peopleʼs assets. Our first product is the world's lowest APR credit card – backed by home equity. Using many patented technologies, we sped up a process that usually takes 4-6 weeks and thousands of dollars down to as fast as 15 minutes and $0 to get.If youʼre a missionary that gets excited to work on huge problems with wicked smart people to have a massive impact - then Aven would love to get to know you.
Who are we?
We are a well-capitalized (over $275MM in equity funding) team of technology (Square, Microso, Facebook) and finance (Discover, CapitalOne, and Goldman) executives with top-tier investors -- Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, Max Levchin, NYCA, Sequoia, SciFi VC, Caffeinated Capital, etc
.
In the next decade, we believe we will reduce the cost of consumer credit in the world by a half.
Our team includes people who have built:
- Financial products (Square/CashApp, the earliest CapitalOne credit cards)
- Consumer products (Internet.org, Xbox)
- Technology infrastructure (Visual Studio, Windows & Azure, helped design the C++ & C# languages)
- Mathematics & science infrastructure (computational research at NASAʼs JPL).
We are missionaries that like to work hard on important problems - and build products that become an infrastructure for society. We believe that using technology to lower the cost of capital for consumers is one of these problems - and if we can do it, it could have an infinite impact on peopleʼs lives.
