Participated · Equity · Mar 2026
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.
- OurPetPolicy
Led · Series A · Jan 2026
OurPetPolicy offers a cloud-based animal management system that centralizes pet and ESA profiles, automates vaccination tracking, and verifies ESA requests through direct healthcare-provider authentication and Fair Housing-compliant protocols. The platform is designed for multifamily, single-family rental, and manufactured housing operators and currently manages compliance for roughly 45 million rental units across the United States. By identifying fraudulent ESA documentation, the software helps property managers recover lost revenue and maintain regulatory compliance. Co-founders Logan Miller and Cody Miller position the product as an enterprise solution that integrates with existing property-management systems. With the newly secured capital, the team plans to deepen those integrations, enhance fraud-detection capabilities, expand workflow automation, and scale its go-to-market organization. These initiatives aim to widen market penetration and solidify the company’s standing as the leading pet and ESA compliance platform for the housing industry.

Founded in 2020, PredictAP builds an AI-powered invoice-coding platform that turns incoming real-estate invoices into fully coded entries ready for existing AP workflows in tools such as Yardi Payscan and Nexus Systems. The system processes more than 4 million invoices annually for a customer base of 100+ landlords, operators, and third-party managers across every asset class. Customers report an 80 % reduction in time spent per invoice, shrinking processing cycles from 11 days to roughly 3. The company’s technology stack—including a recently issued U.S. patent—allows seamless integrations with major property-management ERPs (Yardi, MRI, RealPage) and is expanding further. PredictAP has been recognized as one of Business Insider’s 2024 “Hottest Proptech Startups” and won the 2024 Ardent Partners AP Honor Award for “Innovative Solution of the Year.” With a team of just over 20 employees, the firm plans to accelerate product enhancements, broaden integrations, and scale go-to-market efforts using fresh capital. Although revenue figures are not disclosed, the operational metrics and rapid customer adoption underscore strong growth momentum.

Founded in 2017 and based in Overland Park, Kan., Lula provides a technology-driven platform that connects property managers and investors with a vetted network of maintenance professionals (Lula Pros). The company operates in 42 markets and has a network of more than 6,000 Lula Pros, including handymen, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC contractors.

Lula is a technology platform that streamlines the maintenance process for single-family and multifamily rental owners, reducing time spent on maintenance by nearly 60%. It integrates with popular property management software to let maintenance coordinators and tenants submit requests that can be evaluated and dispatched to on-site staff or Lula’s large network of fully‑vetted contractors. The solution provides real-time updates, pictures, and service notes to all parties, improving resident experience, eliminating the need for multiple vendors, and reducing costs for property owners, managers, and investors. Lula is currently utilized in more than 40,000 rental units across ten U.S. markets, including Kansas City, Houston, Denver, and Atlanta, and has partnerships with major owner-operators such as Pathlight Property Management, AMG Asset Management Group, FirstKey Homes, and HomeRiver Group.
