About this episode

Sumner Douglas is a serial entrepreneur and previous early stage focused VC. He is the driving force behind BoomStartup, a top 10 ranked accelerator. His previous founder roles include Saasuma, GlassView and Vutiliti.

Top 3 Value Bombs:

1. Modular construction simply means factory-built homes. It means homes that are transported to the site and then installed on a permanent foundation.

2. Affordable housing and the housing crisis in general is one of the biggest crisis that we face. The modular home solution and factory-built, high quality and sustainable buildings can really solve one of the biggest issues that we face.

3. Start a new company in the market that was ripe for disruption. The way that we produce in modular really has the potential to largely disrupt the housing market and to solve a lot of the different problems that we're facing.

We build modular homes for modern life - Sumner’s Website StackHomes
