Who we are

Built for fire survivors... by a fire survivor

We are three co-founders: Adam, Aravindh, and Hale. Adam was born in Pasadena and raised in the Palisades. His parents' home of nearly 50 years burned to the ground in the fires of Jan 7, 2025.

We had been building tech for construction anyway, but when the fires hit and Adam's family's home was lost, we channeled everything into building for the Palisades. Now, we're focused on helping LA fire survivors get back into your rebuilt homes as soon as possible–on time, on budget, and at the quality level you're paying for.
