To understand the motivation behind Bilt, one would have to understand Kairos HQ, its parent company. Kairos HQ was built with the objective of creating common-sense solutions to the world’s leading problems, like housing and healthcare. Rent is one of the biggest monthly expenses for the vast majority of Americans. And yet, in most cases, it doesn’t qualify for the same kinds of rewards that paying many other expenses does. By introducing rewards to rent, Bilt allows people to earn back on their largest expense—an added bonus for the nearly 109 million renters out there. Ankur Jain, Founder and CEO of Kairos HQ and Bilt, told us that Bilt’s goal is to make renting an enjoyable experience and even help build a path towards homeownership. Its partnerships look promising, and we’re excited to see how Bilt changes the renting industry for the better. We’d love to hear from you: what are your biggest rent pain points?
