JKB Ventures is excited to announce our investment in Further, a fintech platform simplifying the financial side of home buying. Further recently secured a $4.1M pre-seed round from investors, including Link Ventures, Vesta Ventures, and Fidi Ventures.
Founded by Kevin Bennett and Chris Baker, Further is tackling one of the most pressing financial challenges facing younger generations: navigating the increasingly complex process of buying a home. The company’s first product is an advanced home-buying calculator that goes beyond standard mortgage estimations, offering real-time insights on affordability, loan accessibility, and personalized recommendations based on a user’s financial profile. Further is positioned at the intersection of proptech and fintech, bringing much-needed clarity to a process that has grown significantly more complicated over the past generation.
At JKB Ventures, we believe in backing mission-driven entrepreneurs solving meaningful problems—and Kevin Bennett is exactly that kind of leader. A Washington, D.C. native, Kevin’s deep understanding of the home-buying challenges faced by millennials and Gen Z resonated with us. His track record of building and scaling companies, coupled with his innovative mindset, makes him the ideal founder to tackle this issue.
We are equally excited about Chris Baker, Further’s co-founder and product leader. Chris brings deep expertise in real estate technology, having previously served as Head of Product at EasyKnock. We believe in his ability to build a world-class platform that simplifies home buying and empowers users with the right tools and information.
We are thrilled to partner with Kevin, Chris, and the entire Further team on their journey to transform the future of home buying.
