Common Questions

What is the legal structure of HomeHero Alliance?
HomeHero Alliance, Inc. is a Delaware C-Corporation. Our nonprofit lending arm, CBC Foundation 501(c)(3), is a separate entity pursuing CDFI certification. Equity investors invest in the C-Corp; CDFI coalition participants engage through the Foundation's structured lending programs.
How does HomeHero generate revenue?
Revenue comes from four streams: (1) Platform subscription fees from contractors, lenders, and suppliers; (2) Origination fees on LendHero loans (1–2%); (3) Project management fees through HeroVerify inspections; (4) RenderReady design studio subscription and per-project fees. We do not take a markup on contractor labor.
What is the competitive moat?
HomeHero's defensibility comes from (1) deep CDFI/CRA relationships that take years to build; (2) the HeroVerify inspection network — a trusted third-party layer competitors can't easily replicate; (3) community trust built market-by-market through HeroAgent local champions; and (4) proprietary borrower Y-Score data that improves underwriting over time.
How do I receive investor updates?
Seed investors receive monthly email updates and quarterly financial reports via our investor portal. Strategic partners ($250K+) receive monthly executive calls with CEO Tony Hudson and CFO-level metrics. All investors have access to our investor Slack channel for real-time milestone tracking.
