RADICAL + PRACTICAL
Since 2019, we’ve been on the road meeting with cities about one problem:
How can we help turn on housing production where it never happens?
Heading into the 2024 Election, housing was a headline platform:
Calling for the construction of 3,000,000 new homes.
Tax incentives for business that build housing.
Down payment assistance for new home buyers.
Election Morning - Nov. 5, 2024 - We believed we were perfectly positioned.
The morning after election, all housing conversations immediately stopped.
I was in the room with my Boston Impact Initiative fund-manager cohort that morning, reviewing funding plans. The shared concern was blunt: the election could further stall urban housing production.
Inside, I felt the reminder: this is why I’m here. This is why we became fund managers—to raise capital and build a platform we can control, regardless of who is in office. It was never about who wins an election; it’s about creating a system that makes production inevitable.
So I made a statement to the group:
We will build the platform and raise the fund
to produce 1,000,000 homes in the next ten years
in cities with housing crisis.
It sounded radical then. It still feels crazy to imagine today.
But 365 days later and after seeing declining production in city centers…
Radical has become the only practical solution.
And it’s a $350B investment opportunity hiding in plain sight.
We backed the words with execution: we’ve secured $13.9M in commitments and are already under production in Kansas City.
The plan is no longer theory. It’s a system you can underwrite.
Our innovation isn’t a shiny new object. This Is Not 3D-printed headlines or a mega-modular factories built by tech tourist.
It’s the disciplined integration of proven parts across the value chain into one coordinated business model that ends fragmentation and removes the bottlenecks that paralyze urban housing production.
