Tyler, great article! Definitely interested in putting some money to work into Divvy. Essentially, it’s a modern spin on rent-to-own, which I’ve always thought should be more popular than it is in the marketplace.
My question for you is as an OPEN super fan, like yourself, how worried should I be that Divvy is going to significantly compromise Eric Wu’s vision?

First and foremost, congratulations on being selected for the fellowship at Vandy, that's awesome! My brother-in-law is a maxillofacial surgeon and the reconstructive stuff he does is incredible.
As always, great read. I appreciate your storytelling abilities; you make a very compelling case for Divvy. As someone who just went through a home purchase two years ago (and now about to start it again as we move to Boston for work) we had to settle for something that would fit our budget-- definitely didn't get the house we wanted. I think Divvy has some serious potential here and the concept alone allows for buyers to plan ahead and maybe buy the home they would want in the future... instead of buying and then selling before you upgrade--- say you know you're going to have a kid or two, or other life changes. Too bad they're not in the Boston area, I'm intrigued!
Saw you posted this on Every (the link didn't load for me, btw) so does this mean you'll not be publishing on SA in the future?

Stated another way, did OPEN’s moat just shrink?
