Biography

Ankur Jain founded and runs home rental rewards startup Bilt Rewards, which raised $250 million from private investors at a $10.75 billion valuation in July 2025.

Bilt Rewards processes rent payments and enables renters to earn and redeem points with airlines, hotels, gyms and restaurants.

Jain, who is CEO, owns 32% of Bilt Rewards, which is based in New York City.

Jain previously cofounded Humin, an app that combined contacts, calendars and more and was acquired by Tinder; he made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2015.

Jain's father, former Microsoft executive Naveen Jain, was briefly a billionaire in 2000 when shares of InfoSpace, the Internet content firm he founded, peaked.
