Senior Product Manager

Lofty (http://www.lofty.ai/)) is operating at the cutting edge of Web3 and crypto, and lets anyone invest in tokenized real estate in under 5 minutes for only $50.

Our mission is to help people across the world diversify into high yield U.S. real estate investments as easily as possible. We especially want to help people who can’t purchase an entire house or rental property on their own. Investors get daily rental income while their tokens appreciate in value as the property appreciates, and tokens can be sold anytime with no lock-up periods.

We are moving fast, growing fast, and backed by leading investors (such as Y Combinator, Hustle Fund, and NVIDIA). Most importantly, our users are obsessed with our product. You can read testimonials at: https://loftyreviews.webflow.io/

• Grew from 4 to 16 full time employees
• Transacted $30 million across 125+ properties for thousands of property investors
• Launched support for crypto payments. Not everyone has a credit card or a US bank account, but most everyone around the world can use crypto.
• Launched support for people to use crypto as collateral to invest in real estate
• Launched Lofty Wallet to bridge DeFi and TradFi and make it easy for everyone, including non-crypto natives, to use Lofty
• Launched peer-to-peer property trading to make real estate more liquid than ever
