About Us

At Abode, we're not just a company; we're a movement transforming the way homeowners manage their finances. Homeowners spend $2 trillion per year on their home, yet there's no solution out there to help homeowners manage the financial elements of homeownership. Abode saves homeowners time and money by reducing property taxes, optimizing insurance, and lowering energy costs — achieving an average annual savings of over $2,512 per year for our clients.

What sets us apart? Abode is building from the ground-up with artificial intelligence and robust data sets, which means an unparalleled customer experience - especially compared to the prototypical high-friction experience that has plagued consumer finance. What does that mean for homeowners? They barely have to lift a finger. In fact, Abode only needs homeowners to 1 minute of work and we can save them $1,000's.

Abode is backed by top-tier investors including Drive Capital, Goodwater, Uncommon, Andreessen Horowitz (Scout) and Sequoia (Scout). We launched earlier this year and already have thousands of customers, millions of social media impressions and partnerships with blue chip real estate companies - proof that our product and vision are resonating deeply in a market of 80+ million homeowners even in our early stages. We want to build faster and make a real difference in people’s lives by making homeownership more affordable for everyone. If you’re ready to contribute to this mission, Abode is your next step. Join us and be part of something big.
