Event Overview

In this intimate conversation, Ankur will unpack how he built one of the most disruptive startups in fintech and real estate, using first-principles thinking and a people-first approach to solve one of the most pressing problems of modern adulthood. We’ll explore his theory of “profitable betterment,” his philosophy on designing products without a finished image, and why the biggest opportunities lie in the least glamorous problems.

01
Rethinking the System: From Frustration to Foundation

What started as a bold idea, to reward rent, evolved into Bilt’s innovative payments and loyalty platform. Bilt built a system delivering real value to millions of renters.
02
Building Bilt: From Startup to Category Creator

Bilt’s “make rent rewarding” mission resonates with renters often ignored by traditional loyalty programs. The brand connects with younger users and builds trust in a cautious, legacy-driven industry.
03
What's Next for Bilt and Proptech-Fintech Convergence

Bilt is growing fast, expanding dining rewards, doubling down on travel offerings, and redefining how tech bridges real estate and finance. It’s the next step in transforming renters’ financial lives.
