Aven
Aven is a San Francisco-based fintech that built the first credit card backed by home equity. It pairs a Visa with a HELOC so homeowners can borrow against their house at mortgage-like rates while earning 2% unlimited cash back. Founded in 2019 by ex-Facebook and Square engineers, Aven hit a $2.2B valuation in 2025 after a $110M Series E led by Khosla Ventures and is building what it calls a 'machine banking' platform for American homeowners.
