Carl Gish Is Turning the House Into a Product
After building brands, delivery systems, and financial products, Carl Gish turned to the American house. His wager at Aro Homes is that better design, factory precision, and patient research can make homebuilding work as one connected system.
Beazer Homes
Beazer Homes is trying to make a volatile housing market feel less volatile - one lower utility bill, independently tested wall and competing mortgage quote at a time.
Aro Homes
Aro Homes is a Silicon Valley home-building company that designs and delivers precision-engineered, net-zero single-family homes for established neighborhoods. By combining a repeatable off-site/on-site construction system with architecture from Olson Kundig, Aro aims to cut the typical 18-month build down to roughly 90 days while producing homes that generate more energy than they use, cut water consumption by up to 45%, and save an estimated 11.2 tons of CO2 per home each year. The company launched publicly in 2022 with a $21M Series A and treats housing as a repeatable product rather than a series of one-off custom builds.
