Bilt

Our founder & CEO Ankur Jain has been named to Commercial Observer's 2026 Power List for Tech & AI. It marks a year of expansion for Bilt: - Housing payment volume is up 6x since 2023, with more than $100B expected in 2026 - Bilt Hospitality launched for restaurants in March and expanded to travel advisors in April - New partnerships with Amtrak, Blacklane, Equinox, and Preferred Hotels & Resorts; expanded partnerships with Qatar Airways, Flying Blue, and BLADE; and two key acquisitions across travel and housing. Housing is people's biggest expense. We're continuing to build the membership that makes your neighborhood and everything around it more rewarding. Read the full list: https://lnkd.in/gZ5a9yFM

Your email list only reaches people who already know you. It can't reach the Bilt Member who just moved in down the block, someone who's most likely to become a regular with real spend to put toward dining at your restaurant. Neighborhood campaigns bring that member into reach through Bilt Hospitality for Dining. Operators can get as granular as they want, reaching specific buildings instead of blasting an entire neighborhood, and segment by who someone is to the restaurant: all Bilt Members in the area, members new to the neighborhood, first-time guests, or guests who've dined there before. The result: offers that reach members who carry Bilt Points and Bilt Cash to spend the moment they sit down, and who spend up to 22% more on average than other guests, turning neighbors who've never walked in into regulars.

Most people get nothing back for the biggest purchase of their life. Not this first-time buyer in Fresno, who shared his story with Realtor.com's Down Payment Diaries. He first heard about Bilt while renting. When he and his wife were ready to buy their first home, he came back, we connected him with a great agent, and they earned 217,500 Bilt Points just for buying their home. Now they're turning those points into a trip to Thailand! That's the idea behind Bilt. Members pay rent, earn points, and build credit history along the way. When you're ready to buy, we're still there, and your home purchase earns points too. Those points can go toward a trip like theirs, student loans, or everyday moments in your neighborhood like restaurants, fitness classes, and pharmacy purchases. Your money should work for you at every stage, from your first rent payment to your first home. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/e4Z-SysN

This October Rent Day, Bilt is partnering with John Legend: the EGOT-winning, multi-platinum artist and producer who has garnered 13 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Tony Award and four Emmy Awards, among others, for Rent Free™. The better he does, the more Bilt Members win free rent. This is all ahead of dropping Muse, his new studio album produced in full and co-written by Pharrell Williams, out October 23. Bilt Members also: ● Can donate Bilt Points to Scholarship America, with 100% of Bilt Points donated going to the organization ● Can pre-order a limited edition vinyl of Muse with a cover shot exclusively for Bilt ● Have the chance to attend a private John Legend show in San Francisco And, in partnership with Legend, Bilt is helping to cover rent for 50 students across four universities he personally selected: Morehouse College, Central State University, Wilberforce University – the nation's oldest private HBCU – and his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania. Six in ten students can't afford college without financial help. This month, the points Bilt Members earn paying rent can go toward changing that. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4AtF4Hb

Generating a lease often requires onsite teams and prospects to move between multiple systems to gather applicant information, prepare documents, and collect signatures – time that’s better spent welcoming someone to the neighborhood. Lease Generator brings the entire leasing process into one seamless workflow through Bilt Hospitality for Housing. Teams can create leases with all-in pricing using data from their property management system, or by combining base rent from their PMS with fee data and disclaimers powered by Engrain, collect digital signatures and even pair traditional concessions with personalized Bilt offers based on what each prospect values across Bilt’s ecosystem of 50,000 merchant partners. The result: less manual work, a faster path to move-in and into the neighborhood, and the opportunity to save up to 20% on traditional concession costs.
