The round was led by TTV Capital, with participation from Stanford Angels, the co-founder of SoFi as well as the founder of U.K. top investment app, Nutmeg.

The company intends to use the funds to scale its offering in the U.S.

Typical customers are middle-class investors based in Asia looking to invest in single-family homes or condos as rental properties, and are active primarily in California, Florida, Texas and Washington. 

Jia Finance’s software and business development teams operate out of its offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
