  4. Ankur Jain (Bilt) on Turning Rent Into Rewards, Raising $250M, and Reinventing the Path to Homeownership
What if paying rent could actually help you own a home someday?
That’s exactly the idea Ankur Jain ran with when he launched Bilt
Rewards, the first loyalty program that lets renters earn points on
rent—and it’s now backed by over 2 million units nationwide, plus
Mastercard, Wells Fargo and more. Sammi sits down with Ankur to
unpack how he built one of the most disruptive fintech startups in
the housing space, why homeownership is getting harder for younger
generations, and how Built is changing that. From navigating brutal
regulatory red tape to raising $250 million in funding, Ankur
shares what it really takes to scale a company that aims to fix
real-world problems. He also opens up about his time at Tinder, his
immigrant roots, the flaws of traditional venture capital, and his
unbelievable wedding at the Great Pyramids of Giza. Here’s what

Mein Archiv

Deine Privatkopie der Folgen, die du nicht verlieren willst.

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
  • Herunterladen bleibt möglich, solange die Folge beim Podcaster liegt. Der zählt seine Abrufe wie bisher.
