Button Finance raises $5 million

Mortgage platform Button Finance has raised $5 million in a Series A funding round led by Hildene Capital Management, with participation from existing investors.

Founded in 2019, New York-based Button Finance offers home equity loans through its AI-powered platform – delivering “quick decisions” and funding in “as few as five days.”

“Button Finance is democratizing access to home equity at precisely the right moment. Their technology isn’t just innovative; it’s solving real financial challenges for everyday Americans. We are not just investing in Button Finance; we are committing to powering their next billion dollars in home equity originations.” – Brett Jefferson, President and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Hildene Capital Management.

“While many startups chase growth at all costs, we’ve built a fundamentally sound business that’s been cash flow positive and profitable for quite some time. This strategic $5M raise allows us to accelerate growth while preserving equity for our shareholders. We have scaled to over 60 employees in the past two years nearly tripling our monthly volume in just six months-and we are just getting started. The second half of 2025 will bring expanded product offerings and distribution channels to match the explosive demand we’re seeing.” – Jason Harris, CEO of Button Finance.
