💸 Viola FinTech’s Investment in EasyKnock

Viola FinTech is a key investor in EasyKnock, a real estate-fintech company that markets itself as a provider of “sale-leaseback” options for homeowners needing quick access to equity. This investment likely occurred during EasyKnock’s Series B or C funding round between 2019 and 2022.

Alongside Viola FinTech, other investors include:

• Blumberg Capital

• 75 & Sunny Ventures (Spencer Rascoff)

• QED Investors

• Moderne Ventures

• Montage Ventures

Viola’s involvement provided EasyKnock with the funding to scale nationwide, entering states like Texas and Illinois—where its contracts and securitization model are now under scrutiny.

🚨 Why This Matters

Viola FinTech helped fund and enable EasyKnock’s expansion, despite mounting concerns that the company’s practices:

• Violate state homestead protections (e.g., in Texas)

• Misrepresent home-sale transactions as leases

• May be functioning as disguised high-interest loans

• Involve unregistered securities offerings via SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles)

This raises serious questions about investor due diligence and whether venture firms like Viola are turning a blind eye to consumer harm in exchange for rapid growth and returns.

🧩 What We’re Investigating

• Did Viola FinTech conduct proper legal, ethical, and regulatory vetting before investing in EasyKnock?

• Were risks to homeowners, such as foreclosure, eviction, or deceptive transactions, disclosed to their Limited Partners (LPs)?

• Are consumer-protection or securities laws being ignored in the pursuit of financial innovation?
