Users assume full responsibility for decisions made based on information obtained from this platform. Links to external websites do not imply endorsement or affiliation with aVenture. Any links that provide the ability to invest in a primary or secondary transaction in a company are for convenience only and do not constitute solicitations or offers to buy or sell an investment. Investors should exercise heightened precaution and due diligence when investing in private companies, especially those not independently audited.

While we strive to provide valuable insights with objectivity and professional diligence, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided on our platform. Before making any investment decisions, you should verify the accuracy of all pertinent details for your decision.

We recommend that an independent auditor be hired to verify the accuracy of the information before relying on it for any sensitive decisions.

Tilt (formerly Empower Finance) is a San Francisco-based financial technology company founded in 2016 by Warren Hogarth and Justin Ammerlaan. The company offers consumer financial products including cash advances up to $400, a flexible line of credit up to $1,000, and unsecured credit cards, all designed for customers who may be underserved by traditional lenders. Instead of relying solely on credit scores, Tilt uses real-time cash flow data and over 250 non-traditional indicators of financial health to assess customer readiness for credit.

The company serves over 3 million active subscribers and has been profitable since 2022. In August 2025, Empower Finance rebranded to Tilt and launched a suite of unsecured credit cards issued by WebBank. Tilt has raised approximately $174.5 million in funding, including a $20 million Series A in 2020 and a $150 million Series B led by blisce.
