Abode Money • Austin, TX

7d • Hybrid

About The Position

Abode Money is building the financial home for your home. Our mission is simple: make homeownership more affordable for everyday homeowners. We’re using AI to automate the hard parts of saving on home costs, including property tax, insurance, utilities, and more. We see a future where AI does the heavy lifting for homeowners, from analyzing data and fetching documents to filling forms, so homeowners can avoid headaches and live more affordably. No one is doing this today, and we see creating an ongoing relationship with homeowners as a massive gap in the market. We have incredible backers, including Core VC, Drive Capital, Sequoia, and 81 Collection.
