Eddie is the co-founder and CEO of Point. The concept for Point’s Home Equity Investment came to Eddie while he was attempting to refinance his home. Like millions of people, Eddie didn’t have any reportable income at the time - even though his startup had been acquired a few weeks prior - so he didn’t qualify for any conventional mortgage product. Recognizing that many other homeowners must find themselves in similar circumstances, Eddie and co-founder Eoin Matthews began working on Point. Before founding Point, Eddie was the co-founder of TrialPay (acquired by Visa), Yub (acquired by Coupons.com, now Quotient), Metails (acquired by Buy.com, now Rakuten), and TXN (acquired by Envestnet). 

Eddie holds an AB in Computer Science from Harvard University. He lives in Menlo Park with his wife and four sons, proudly supporting the Golden State Warriors.

Eoin is the co-founder and Chief Business Officer at Point. This wasn’t Eoin’s first time founding a company, though. Before founding Point, Eoin co-founded Sendgrid (acquired by Twilio) and Metails (acquired by Buy.com). He was the VP of Business Development at Rakuten, Buy.com, and VigLink. Eoin holds a Bachelor’s in Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from the National University of Ireland, Galway.

Eoin lives in the Bay Area with his wife and daughter. Prior to becoming a co-founder at Point and a father, Eoin was enthusiastic about logic games and trail running. A carefree traveler, he has required medical treatment in at least five different countries.
