About the Client
We are reinventing consumer credit. We wildly reduce the cost of capital by using technology to easily tap into people’s assets. Our first product is the world's cheapest 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.
Who are we?
We are a well-capitalized (over $250MM in equity funding) team of technology (Square, Microsoft, Facebook) and finance (Discover, CapitalOne, Goldman Sachs) executives with top-tier investors – Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, Max Levchin, NYCA, Sequoia, SciFi VC, Caffeinated Capital, etc.
Our team includes people who have built:
- Financial products (Square/CashApp, the earliest CapitalOne credit cards)
- Consumer products (Internet.org http://Internet.org, Xbox)
- Technology infrastructure (Visual Studio, Windows & Azure, helped design the C++ & C# languages)
- Mathematics & science infrastructure (computational research at NASA’s JPL)
We are missionaries who like to work hard on important problems - and build products that become 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 people’s lives.
Company Mission:
Our mission is to reduce the cost of capital across the world.
About the Company:
We have invented a new credit card powered by an advanced asset-securing platform that enables us to offer much lower APRs to consumers. Our team is a combination of deep technology (Microsoft, Google, Facebook), and finance (Nubank, Goldman Sachs, Square, Carta, SoFi) executives. Our Seed round was led by Max Levchin, and our Series A by Founders Fund - with participation in both rounds by Sequoia, NYCA, and others.
Our work involves building the world’s first completely autonomous asset-securing process, world-class risk models for underwriting, and an incredibly smooth & efficient product experience for consumers to apply, activate, and manage their credit cards.
We’re looking for detail-oriented, driven, and empathetic customer experience managers who want to work with intelligent, motivated, intense, and interesting people to provide people who are applying and people who have received the Aven card with an extraordinary experience.
