Nada is a financial technology company focused on giving homeowners flexible, non-debt access to their home equity. Its flagship product, the Home Equity Agreement (HEA), allows owners to convert a portion of their equity into cash in exchange for a share of the home’s future appreciation, eliminating the need for monthly payments or interest. The company currently operates in 14 states and plans to expand into additional markets nationwide. Nada supplements the HEA with an integrated homeowner finance platform designed to support equity management across every stage of homeownership. With U.S. households holding more than $35 trillion in tappable equity, the firm positions itself as a scalable alternative to traditional home-equity loans and cash-out refinancing. Nada is backed by investors including LiveOak Ventures, Interlock Partners, and Nomura Strategic Ventures, providing additional strategic support for its growth. The recent institutional partnership with Medalist Partners further bolsters its capital base, enabling accelerated origination of HEAs.
