ABOUT US:
Demand for home renovations is higher than ever, yet many new homeowners struggle to afford major projects. It can take years to build enough equity or savings, leading many to rely on less suitable financing options like 401k loans, credit cards, or high-interest personal loans—or to stay in homes that no longer meet their needs.

Major renovations increase a home’s value, and professional real estate investors use the After Renovation Value (ARV) to pursue new opportunities. Homeowners, however, traditionally haven’t had a practical way to leverage ARV. Borrowing against ARV could dramatically increase their borrowing power.

RenoFi created a platform that enables homeowners to access loans from approved lenders based on the home’s post-renovation value. RenoFi Loans allow borrowers to secure higher funding amounts on better terms than traditional home equity loans. We are building a full suite of renovation-focused lending products to support modern homeowners.

For homeowners, RenoFi makes it possible to renovate far sooner than they otherwise could. For contractors, it provides point‑of‑sale financing, reduces scope cuts, and ensures prompt payments. Credit unions and other lending partners use RenoFi’s platform to generate new loans, improve efficiency, and grow membership. Lenders pay RenoFi for these loans, allowing us to offer services to homeowners at no cost. RenoFi benefits everyone involved.

RenoFi is backed by top investors including First Round Capital, Comcast Ventures, and Canaan Partners.

A GLOBALLY DISTRIBUTED TEAM:
RenoFi has operated as a fully distributed company from the beginning, with a strong emphasis on building a collaborative culture across time zones. Please share any remote work experience when applying. We prioritize applicants in US or GMT-adjacent time zones.

RenoFi offers competitive compensation, including equity. Benefits vary by country; in the US, we offer strong health and retirement plans. All team members worldwide enjoy flexible vacation.
