The partnership with Mark and Ben was built on mutual respect and a shared vision for the future of living, allowing us to explore innovative ideas together.

I realized that during the pandemic, people needed community more than ever, and that inspired the direction of Flow.

When I started Flow, I wanted to create a community-focused living experience that addresses loneliness and fosters connections among residents.

My favorite parts of that were hearing the partners' founding stories and their backgrounds, which inspired me.

The concept of Flow is to provide not just housing but a community where residents can thrive together.

The decision to align our interests and work together on Flow was one of the smartest moves we've made, allowing us to leverage our strengths effectively. To control the customer experience end to end, you have to vertically integrate, as it allows you to align everyone with your vision.

I had to balance transparency with kindness when discussing the company's future with my team, especially as we grew larger.

I focused on understanding the character and relationships of founders rather than just their technical abilities, which was crucial for our investment decisions.

Founders being honest about their mistakes fosters an open culture where team members feel comfortable sharing their own mistakes.
