Hi everyone.
My name is Adina.
I'm the CEO of Divvy Homes.
It's a pleasure to meet y'all.
Thank you for being here.
All right, so while the Before pulling that up,
I will just kick it off and get started, because we're about three hours behind at this point.
My passions are at the crossroads of finance, housing,
and inequality, and trying to solve all of these.
I'll get into what my company does at the very end of the presentation.
That's not what I really want to focus on.
But I want to start off with a little story that I think explains why this is so important to me.
When it was about the 1980s my mom decided to go on a little road trip with her friends and she was in Israel and she was backpacking and she was hitchhiking and a man picked her up She got into that car Fell in love and got pregnant that man is my my dad my mom and dad quickly got married immigrated back to the US and Found themselves very young 21 and 24 pregnant and trying to figure out what they were going to do with their life They couldn't get a mortgage to buy a house and settle down and be able to raise a family,
but they were fortunate enough to find a woman who gave them seller financing on their house.
So this woman financed the purchase of the house to let my parents pay an installment.
And in that house, they had three additional kids.
I'm the third of four.
And then eventually we were able to get a mortgage,
take cash out of that house and use the cash that they took out to pay for all four kids to go to college.
