We spun out of Y Combinator's New Cities research program in 2017. We've been working on the technology since then. We're ready to share our building with the amazing maker community here.

@ejsnowdon Thank you. 1) We not only reduce waste and create a more sustainable method of building, but 2) our system allows for faster, easier upgrades to the spaces within the building and its systems (think bathrooms, kitchens, lights, data, etc.) also without creating demolition waste through reusable parts.

@chrismessina Thanks Chris! The product is targeted at real estate developers who want to add more housing. We'll be providing tours and demos at our current building now.

POINT

This sounds super cool! Curious if/how you're incorporating environmental sustainability into your business model? This seems like a really great way to increase construction time efficiency, but are there ways this also makes electric, water, or building material use more efficient? @benhuh1

@lindseybeatrice Thank you! And absolutely! The manufacturing and software-optimized designs not only reduce waste today, but will continue to be a platform for reducing waste as the buildings update and scale.
