RenoFi builds technology that lets homeowners access renovation-specific financing tied to a home’s projected After-Renovation Value (ARV) instead of its current equity. Its flagship product, the Renovation HELOC, gives equity-light and recent homebuyers up to 11× more borrowing power without forcing a mortgage refinance. The company partners with credit unions and embedded lending platforms to distribute a full suite of renovation loan products across 48 U.S. states. Since launching in 2018, RenoFi has facilitated more than 8,000 loans, funding over $1.5 billion in renovations and analyzing $2 billion in project value through its proprietary underwriting engine. The platform now attracts roughly 10,000 new homeowners each month. RenoFi plans to triple its team of renovation-financing specialists and move toward near-real-time loan approvals by continuing to invest in its AI-enabled underwriting layer. Including the new Series B, the company has raised a total of $65 million in venture funding to date.

Piere’s mobile and web platform plugs into users’ bank, Venmo, and CashApp accounts, then uses its proprietary MyPlan AI engine to analyse goals, habits, and blind spots and autonomously move money—shifting idle cash to higher-yield accounts, paying down high-interest debt, or investing when appropriate. The company pairs this direct-to-consumer app with white-label and co-branded solutions for banks, credit unions, insurers, and counselling organisations, positioning itself as underlying infrastructure for automated personal finance. In 2025 the startup tripled its user base and quadrupled paid subscribers, and users now open the app an average of four times per day. Current strategic partners include the National Foundation for Credit Counselling and Progressive Insurance, giving Piere access to large, financially diverse customer segments.
