Barastone
Fifteen years inside home equity investments
From institutional portfolio management to building the infrastructure a whole category depends on. Home equity investments are genuinely revolutionary — a debt-free way for homeowners to access wealth, and a new asset class for institutions. Our work is making that practical at scale.
Institutional origins
Barastone began in institutional portfolio management, building custom investment solutions for family offices and institutional capital — and learning first-hand what deployers of capital actually need before committing to a category.
Early in the category
We became one of the first specialists in home equity investments, back when the category was new enough that it barely had a name. We have watched it move from niche product, to institutional interest, to the beginnings of securitization.
Infrastructure, not another product
Fifteen years in taught us that the friction holding back adoption was never the product itself. So we build the infrastructure the ecosystem runs on, rather than one more offering competing inside it.
What we build
