I run The Bygone Hotel. In 2021, my wife & I bought this forgotten roadside motor lodge and transformed it into the Texas Hill Country’s most beloved escape. We partner with leaders & wellness whisperers to craft transcendent retreats. Tell us your goals, and we'll manifest the magic. I also dabble in real estate and startup investing. Prior to buying and renovating The Bygone, I ran two VC-backed startups. In 2011, I co-founded Apartment List. Think Tinder for apartments. Swipe through cute spots, go on tours, fall in love. >$100m raised, independent, fast-growing & profitable. In 2016, I launched an apartment hotel brand, The Guild. Early locations crushed. We raised $50M & launched a dozen more. It was an epic journey, but we went down swinging in 2023. More details on TheGuild.co.
