Aven is hiring: 3D Generalist / Motion Artist in Campbell

About Us

We are reinventing consumer credit. We wildly reduce the cost of capital by using technology to easily tap into people’s assets. Our first product is the world's cheapest credit card – backed by home equity. Using many patented technologies, we sped up a process that usually takes 4-6 weeks and thousands of dollars down to as fast as 15 minutes and $0 to get.

The Team

We are a well-capitalized (over $250MM in equity funding) team of technology (Square, Microsoft, Facebook) and finance (Discover, CapitalOne, Goldman Sachs) executives with top-tier investors – Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, Max Levchin, NYCA, Sequoia, SciFi VC, Caffeinated Capital, etc.

Our team includes people who have built :

Financial products (Square / CashApp, the earliest CapitalOne credit cards)

Consumer products ( Internet.org , Xbox)

Technology infrastructure (Visual Studio, Windows & Azure, helped design the C & C# languages)

Mathematics & science infrastructure (computational research at NASA’s JPL)

We are missionaries who like to work hard on important problems - and build products that become infrastructure for society. We believe that using technology to lower the cost of capital for consumers is one of these problems - and if we can do it, it could have an infinite impact on people’s lives.
