Stake, a NYC-based fintech company focused on powering real estate with Cash Back rewards, raised over 4m in seed funding.
The round was led by Shadow Ventures, with participation from Hometeam Ventures, Olive Tree Holdings, Blue Field Capital, Hampton VC, Gaingels, and Ellen Levy, Managing Director at Silicon Valley Connect.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its business reach.
