Corporate Structure

🏢 EasyKnock’s Corporate Structure

“Follow the Money, Follow the Control”

EasyKnock, Inc. presents itself as a tech-enabled real estate platform — but behind that façade lies a network of shell entities, financial vehicles, and opaque transactions designed to shield liability, bypass regulation, and securitize residential homes under commercial and investment frameworks.

This page provides a breakdown of the corporate hierarchy, board members, and the web of affiliated SPVs used to execute EasyKnock’s model across the U.S.

🔍 Hidden Control & Transfer Mechanisms

1. Series LLCs & Layered SPVs
   EasyKnock frequently layers entities between contract originators, title-holders, and securitization funds, creating confusion about ownership.

2. Property held under commercial deeds
   Despite being primary residences, EasyKnock uses commercial deeds to strip homestead protections and allow transfer into pooled funds.

3. Use of Notaries & Deed Recordings
   Documents are often notarized out-of-state or via remote means, then recorded under SPVs with no consumer disclosure of final beneficial owner.

4. Unregistered Securities Offerings
   SPVs like LMCV DDO FUND I and TVC Funding have filed Form D notices with the SEC, yet many offerings appear to evade clear registration under state laws — opening the door to securities fraud allegations.

🔗 Capital & Investor Partners

EasyKnock operates with financial backing from a tight group of venture capital firms, including:

• QED Investors

• Viola FinTech

• Montage Ventures

• Blumberg Capital

• 75 & Sunny Ventures (Spencer Rascoff)

These funds have board access, voting rights, or influence in operations — and are therefore potentially liable for enabling or ignoring consumer deception.

⚠️ Why This Matters

This structure:

• Enables regulatory arbitrage.

• Obscures ownership of your home.

• Makes legal remedies more complex for homeowners.

• Appears designed to evade licensing, lending, and disclosure laws.

We’re mapping 🧭 this network not just to expose wrongdoing, but to make it easier for regulators, courts, and consumers to hold the right parties accountable.

💰 Who Funded EasyKnock?

In 2021, Viola FinTech — a global VC firm backed by banks and insurers — invested $5 million in EasyKnock’s Series B round. The investment helped scale a business model that has since harmed homeowners like Tim and Chedea through:

• Deed fraud

• Homestead rights violations

• Securitization without clear disclosure

Viola FinTech’s backing raises serious questions about investor accountability and due diligence.
