Nick Whalley
Nick Whalley is the co-founder and CEO of Nutiliti, a utility management platform that handles the unglamorous but expensive work of turning power, water, and gas on and off across rental portfolios. A Dartmouth-trained engineer who spent three years on Goldman Sachs's electronic trading desk before leaving in 2020 to build software for property managers, Whalley runs a company whose pitch is blunt: manage properties, not utilities. Nutiliti automates activations, deactivations, bill payment, and accounting reconciliation, and exposes it all through a REST API so single-family rental and build-to-rent operators can stop drowning in utility paperwork.
Andrew Collins
Andrew Collins is the CEO and co-founder of Bungalow, the largest co-living network in the United States. Raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma among serial entrepreneurs, he studied sociology and economics at Princeton and earned an MBA from Wharton before deliberately collecting skills at Medallia, Facebook, and the startup studio Atomic. In 2017 he and Justin McCarty turned their own struggle to find affordable housing and friends in a new city into Bungalow, which furnishes homes and rents individual bedrooms at roughly 30% below the cost of a studio. The company has raised about $175 million, including a $75 million Series C in 2021, from backers like Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, and Coatue.
