ZeroDown

ZeroDown is a real estate startup established in 2018 that aims to provide an affordable solution for homeownership. The company offers an alternative to traditional renting and home buying, allowing individuals to enjoy the benefits of homeownership while maintaining the flexibility of renting. Its platform features a comprehensive home search website and a range of real estate services, including brokerage and mortgage origination. By facilitating a rent-to-own model, ZeroDown enables users to identify suitable financing options for their home purchases, thereby allowing them to allocate capital for other investments. The founders, Abhijeet Dwivedi, Hari Viswanathan, and Laks Srini, previously collaborated at Zenefits, where they gained extensive experience in operations and technology.
