About Tellus
Tellus is a fintech company that is unlocking the value of real estate. We’re innovating at the intersection of the personal savings and mortgage lending markets. We help renters become homeowners and we’re on a mission to wean people off of credit cards. Your Tellus credit score is based on your good financial behaviors like paying rent on time and saving money regularly. Our super-wallet app provides savings, investment and asset management features that accelerate wealth creation for everybody - you never earn less than 3% APY on idle money - and we deliver joy and delight through our Boost rewards system.

To the Moon

Tellus was founded in 2016 by two Stanford and Berkeley grads as a real estate management and data company. Today we are a team of 30+ seasoned operators, engineers, personal finance geeks and product imagineers with a home base in Silicon Valley and a team distributed around the country and the world – allowing a work culture that encompasses a diverse global perspective. Our revenue has grown about 900% YoY since launch and we have powerfully positive unit economics on every user acquired. We are proud of the impact we are already having and we are just getting started.

Our Core Values

We pursue excellence together –– we take risks and learn from mistakes; we are committed to improving outcomes with each iteration. We operate with integrity –– we take ownership and are accountable to ourselves, our teammates, and our customers.
