Vikas Enti
Vikas Enti is the co-founder and CEO of Reframe Systems, an Andover, Massachusetts startup using robotic microfactories to build net-zero, climate-resilient homes faster, cheaper, and with a fraction of the carbon of conventional construction. A veteran of Amazon Robotics, where he spent roughly a decade helping scale a fleet of more than half a million warehouse robots, Enti left logistics to point the same systems thinking at the housing crisis. He founded Reframe in 2022 with two former Amazon colleagues, raised a $20M Series A in 2025, and is deploying microfactories from Massachusetts to wildfire-hit Los Angeles.
Joe Garcia
Joe Gebbia co-founded Airbnb in 2008 out of a San Francisco living room - air mattresses, breakfast included - and turned a half-crazy idea into an $85B company. His current venture, Samara, builds factory-assembled, solar-ready backyard homes (ADUs) that go from permit to move-in in under seven months. In early 2025 he became America's first Chief Design Officer, tasked with redesigning the federal government's 27,000 websites. A Rhode Island School of Design graduate with dual majors in graphic and industrial design, Gebbia approaches every problem - housing affordability, government UX, refugee shelter - through the lens of democratic, empathetic design.
Rick Holliday
Rick Holliday is a San Francisco Bay Area real estate developer and social entrepreneur with nearly 50 years of experience building affordable and market-rate housing. He co-founded Factory OS in 2017 to revolutionize multifamily housing production through factory-based modular construction, securing $77.7M in funding from Google, Autodesk, Facebook, and Citi. His career spans co-founding Eden Housing (1978), BRIDGE Housing (early 1980s), and Holliday Development (1988), where he pioneered live-work loft conversions in SoMa. Factory OS, located in a former WWII submarine shipyard on Mare Island in Vallejo, demonstrated 40% faster delivery and 20-30% cost savings over traditional construction.
