Point in the media
Our innovative home equity products have been featured in top publications.
Every year, Insider surfaces 100 leaders across 10 industries who are driving unprecedented change and innovation. Lim, the CEO and cofounder of Point, wants to make it easier for people to tap into that wealth. Lim’s company, which he founded alongside Eoin Matthews in 2015, offers homeowners lump sums of cash in exchange for a stake in their home.
Historically, homeowners could only tap into the equity of their homes by taking out a home equity loan or refinancing. But a new category of startups has emerged in recent years to give homeowners more options to cash in on their homes in exchange for a share of the future value of their homes.
