Stake operates a vertically integrated renter platform that now spans apartment search, lease signing, rent payments, and everyday financial wellness. Through its recent acquisition of apartment-locating service UMoveFree and Lighthouse, Stake can surface cash-back deals at the start of a renter’s search and continue rewarding them for on-time rent payments via its FDIC-insured Stake Checking account. The network encompasses more than 550,000 homes nationwide and has delivered tens of millions of dollars in rewards, with UMoveFree alone having served over 5 million renters and paid out $35 million in cash back. Stake reported 4× year-over-year revenue growth in 2025, underscoring accelerating adoption of its platform. Key renter features include immediate cash back at lease signing, automatic credit reporting on rent, and no-fee banking services. For property owners, Stake provides a Loyalty Cloud dashboard and Stake+ incentive engine that align renter savings with property performance. The company plans to use new capital to integrate UMoveFree’s demand engine, expand deal-based rental discovery into additional markets, and accelerate development of its renter savings products.

Point has built a platform around the Home Equity Investment (HEI) model, giving homeowners cash today in exchange for a share of their home’s future appreciation rather than requiring a traditional loan. The company says it has already originated more than $2 billion of HEIs and served over 20,000 homeowners nationwide. Management positions this traction as evidence of a broader shift in how consumers view home-equity financing. Looking ahead, Point expects its 2025 performance to exceed 2024 by more than 3×, signaling rapid growth in demand. The newly announced funding capacity should enable the firm to support tens of thousands of additional households. By eliminating monthly payments and extra debt, Point aims to make home equity more flexible and accessible. The company also emphasizes creating long-term value for both homeowners and institutional investors through scalable, responsible underwriting.
