1/ Today, @GGVCapital and I are thrilled to see @Opendoor trading on the @Nasdaq as $OPEN 🎉 We've long admired @ericwu01 and the Opendoor team for making bold bets and staying true to their mission to empower people to move 🏡

To celebrate, I took a walk down memory lane…
2/ @ericwu01's vision for @Opendoor hasn't changed since the day @rabois introduced us 6+ yrs ago. There was no deck for the Series B, but Eric said to me "we want to re-invent the process of moving – speed, simplicity and certainty." 6 years later, this is still the value prop
3/ We @GGVCapital preempted @Opendoor's Series B in 2015. During our regular walking meetings, @ericwu01 and I have brainstormed what it will take to execute on his vision – opening new markets, building out a team, inventing new processes and diversifying capital formation.
4/ Through all of the invention, the @Opendoor team has never veered from focusing on the consumer. This is the most powerful part of the story...people 💙 the service. 🎧 More stories via Founder Real Talk w/ @ericwu01 and @jrichlive https://soundcloud.com/ggvcapital/eric-wu-ceo-and-co-founder-of-opendoor-on-how-to-build-a-plane-while-flying-and-other-tips
5/ It's a privilege to work with @ericwu01 and the @Opendoor team as they continue to reshape the market 🚀🎉🏡 Congratulations from all of us at @GGVCapital!
6/ And, welcome @adambain to the @opendoor team - looking forward to working with you, @ericwu01, @ihat, @jasonkilar and team!
