They’re backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), GGV Capital, Battery Ventures, and Fifth Wall just to name a few of their all-star investors.

One that supports a homeowner’s financial freedom and treats residents with the respect that they deserve. Belong homeowners (over 2,000 and counting across California, Washington, and Florida) enjoy the guaranteed long-term income and a host of innovative services such as cash flow optimization, and app-enabled rent collection.
