Dec 2025Series CWestbound Equity Partners (lead); Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation; Blue Meridian Partners$50M$1.2BEsusu is a fintech platform founded in 2018 that enables renters to build credit by working with landlords and property managers to report on-time rent payments to major credit bureaus. The company's technology transforms rental payment data into credit-building opportunities for underserved populations, addressing the racial wealth gap and expanding financial access. In December 2025, Esusu raised $50 million in Series C funding led by Westbound Equity Partners, with participation from Blue Meridian Partners, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, and strategic family offices, bringing its post-money valuation to $1.2 billion and total capital raised to over $200 million since founding. The company has achieved significant scale, operating across more than 5 million rental units nationwide and serving 12 million people while managing $100 billion in annual gross lease volume. Esusu partners with 65% of the largest real estate owners and operators, including Blackstone, Invitation Homes, Related Companies, and others. The Series C raise reflects growing industry adoption of alternative credit data and a major policy tailwind: the federal government's recent decision to include rental data in mortgage underwriting, positioning Esusu as one of the largest verified rental data aggregators in the United States. The company previously raised $130 million in Series B funding in January 2022 at a $1 billion valuation led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, achieving unicorn status. This Series C represents a smaller, strategic raise focused on less dilutive capital while capitalizing on organic growth and policy support. Esusu plans to use the new capital to expand its core technology infrastructure, accelerate development of credit-building and financial wellness tools, and broaden partnerships with real estate owners, property managers, and financial institutions.
Jan 2022Series BSoftBank Group (lead)$130M$1BEsusu, a Black-owned fintech founded in 2018 by Samir Goel and Abbey Wemimo, provides rent reporting and data solutions to help renters—particularly immigrants and minorities—build credit scores and access financial products like mortgages. The platform partners with property owners to report on-time rent payments to credit bureaus and offers property managers data analytics for income maximization, ESG metrics, and tenant financial health tools. It also runs a rent relief fund with partners like Target Foundation for zero-interest loans to struggling tenants. On January 27, 2022, Esusu raised $130 million in a Series B round led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, achieving a $1 billion post-money valuation and unicorn status as one of the few Black-owned unicorns globally alongside Calendly, Zepz, and Flutterwave. New investors included Jones Feliciano Family Office, Lauder Zinterhofer Family Office, Schusterman Foundation, SoftBank Opportunity Fund, Related Companies, and Wilshire Lane Capital. Existing investors like Motley Fool Ventures (Series A lead), Concrete Rose Capital, The Equity Alliance, Impact America Fund, Next Play Ventures, Serena Ventures, Sinai Ventures, and TypeOne Ventures participated, bringing total funding to over $144 million. The company reported nearly 600% year-over-year growth in 2021 following its $10 million Series A, reaching 2.5 million homes across the US. Proceeds will triple headcount, drive product innovation, and expand its financial health platform to bridge the racial wealth gap for low-to-moderate-income households. SoftBank's Vikas Parekh highlighted Esusu's potential as a central data hub for consumer financial health through renter, landlord, and lender partnerships.

In January 2022, Esusu raised $130 million in a Series B round, achieving a $1 billion post-money valuation and unicorn status as one of the first Black-owned startups to do so.
